Whither China?
Restarting the Reform Agenda
"Timely. Engagingly presented. A well-executed translation for English speakers of an important book published in China only a few years ago." -- Choice "This well-prepared and carefully edited book has been well received by intellectual liberal-minded readers in China. It is outstanding in terms of its bravery, intellectual honesty, and rigorousness in discussing the emerging public debates in China. I believe that an English translation of the book is extremely timely and will be informative to Western readers who want to understand the nature of the economic-political issues that China is confronting as well as the substance of the political conflicts and debates that are now spreading throughout the country. The book is also worthwhile in predicting "a possible future direction" for the Chinese economy, although this is still far from certain." -- Masahiko Aoki, Henri and Tomoye Takahashi Professor of Economics, Emeritus, Stanford University "What happens in China in future will affect the whole world. This series of charming dialogues reflect critically on the political economy of reform and raise issues which are central to the outlook for China." -- Timothy Besley, London School of Economics and Political Science "In this book, Wu Jinglian, one of China's most outstanding economists, is interviewed by Ma Guo Quan about China's economic reform debates. Wu, as a participant in many of these debates over the past six decades, provides the reader with unique access to the nature of these debates together with his personal insights. The book is a tour de force." -- Dwight H. Perkins, Harvard University "A key contributor to the debate about reform in China for four decades, Wu Jinglian has distinguished himself by the clarity, coherence and consistency of his vision for economic and political progress, set out most compellingly and readably in this book." -- Adrian Wood, Professor Emeritus of International Development, University of Oxford "Wu Jinglian is well-known as the most respected voice of economic and social reform in China today. He is also acknowledged as one of China's most effective economists, whose contributions to reforms at critical turning points are celebrated in China. This book presents Wu at his most approachable. Relaxed and conversational, Wu ranges widely over the course of twenty conversations conducted in a dialogue with Ma Guochuan, a leading economic journalist in China. Although the setting is informal, Wu's coverage is comprehensive and he uses the opportunity to deliver a clear and forthright message." -- Barry Naughton is the Sokwanlok Chair of Chinese International Affairs, School of Global Policy and Strategy, University of California, San Diego

In a series of penetrating dialogues, Wu Jinglian, China's most celebrated and influential economist, and Ma Guochuan, chief commentator of Caijing Magazine, attempt to address the following question: "Where is China going? " This volume offers critical insights into the historical evolution of China's ongoing economic and social transformation. Strongly reflecting Professor Wu's views on the future prospects of the economic reforms, the book provides readers with a deep and lucid
understanding of the social and economic issues now confronting China, analyzes their underlying causes, and examines the serious challenges to implementing further reforms.
Professor Wu argues that the only way to escape the various social ills in China today is to restart the economic and political reforms, which began thirty years ago but have slowed down during the recent decade, and to move China in the direction of a market economy, the rule of law, and democracy.
