Features: This book analyzes the pattern and evolution of regional economic growth in the Yangtze River Delta from perspectives such as economic aggregate, industrial development and industrial structure, market organization, and spatial economics. Based on an analysis of factors influencing economic growth, such as financial capital, human capital, and technological innovation, it focuses on how the government leads regional economic growth through control of economic resources, provision of public goods, and administrative planning. It reveals that the mystery behind the high-speed economic growth of the Yangtze River Delta lies in the full utilization of the government's ability to mobilize resources under its leadership, the expansion of free market transactions, and the rise of non-state-owned economies. This book can serve as a reference for Chinese economic researchers and postgraduate students in economics.
