书籍简介：

In the past three decades, China has risen from near collapse to a powerhouse — upending nearly every convention on the world stage, whether policy or business. China is now the globe’s second largest economy, second largest exporter, a manufacturing machine that has lifted 500 million of its citizens from poverty while producing more than one million US dollar millionaires. Then why do China’s leaders describe the nation’s economic model as “unstable and unsustainable”? Because it is. James McGregor has spent 25 years in China as a businessman, journalist and author. In this, his latest highly readable book, he offers extensive new research that pulls back the curtain on China’s economic power. He describes the much-vaunted “China Model” as one of authoritarian capitalism, a unique system that, in its own way, is terminating itself. It is proving incompatible with global trade and business governance. It is threatening multinationals, which fear losing their business secrets and technology to China’s mammoth state-owned enterprises. It is fielding those SOEs – China’s “national champions” — into a global order angered by heavily subsidized state capitalism. And it is relying on an outdated investment and export model that’s running out of steam. What has worked in the past, won’t work in the future. The China Model must be radically overhauled if the country hopes to continue its march toward prosperity. The nation must consume more of what it makes. It must learn to innovate. It must unleash private enterprise. And the Communist Party bosses? They must cede their pervasive and smothering hold on economic power to foster the growth, and thus social stability, that they can’t survive without. Government must step back, the state-owned economy must be brought to heel, and opportunity must be freed. During the Tang Dynasty, an official in the imperial court observed: “No ancient wisdom, no followers.” He was lamenting that regime was headed alone into dangerous and uncharted waters without any precedent for guidance. Again today – as McGregor makes clear – this is China’s greatest challenge.

书友短评：

@ 小花Kelly 有很多名词，combined wealth 、emerging industries、indeginous innovation、fundamental reforms之类的，感觉在看政府报告的赶脚。soe这种特殊的企业形式也只有qicai才能想的出来，在课上我从没搞明白captalism和socialism有什么区别。上学期有门课讲到了中等收入陷阱，很巧，这本书也提到了，不然这个名词一出现还得去查一查。 @ 陳自知 前不見古人後不見來者和中譯名一比 感覺還是人家有覺悟. 一般 有幾個沒想到的 譬如鄉鎮醫保只是某政策的bonus SOEs實際上的負收益 不過計算這個的thinktank網站已經404了 還有直接瞄準下一代科技創新 也沒有找到其他的source 看了幾章 感覺不太靠譜 DNF @ hippy 你以为你懂了，他以为他有答案了，我看的闷死了
