Features: In the past two decades since the reform and opening-up, China's economy, society, lifestyles, and consumption concepts have undergone tremendous changes. The goods that guide family consumption have evolved from "hundred-yuan-level" items like bicycles, sewing machines, and watches in those years to "thousand-yuan-level" items such as color TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and now to "ten-thousand-yuan-level" high-definition large-screen digital TVs, high-end home appliances, cars, and houses. People's consumption awareness has experienced a leapfrog development. This book is the English edition.
