Lessons from China’s Economic Rise: what economists expected and what surprised them. Barry Naughton reviews what economists correctly anticipated from China’s economic reforms and what they didn’t expect (and why). He discusses what China’s policies mean for the country’s future and its ties with others. Naughton is an accomplished analyst of China’s economy. His textbooks on China’s economy are the most widely used. His 2011 and 2016 presentations at USCI conferences captured key issues of the moment and anticipated the challenges of today.
Video is also available on our YouTube channel.
