Will China’s Economy Collapse? by Ann Lee
Aug. 28th, 2017 01:14 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
The recent downturn in the Chinese economy has become a focal point of global attention, with some analysts warning that China is edging dangerously close to economic meltdown. Is it possible that the second largest economy in the world could collapse and drag the rest of the world with it?
In this penetrating essay, Ann Lee explains both why China’s economy will not sink us all and the policy options on which it is drawing to mitigate against such a catastrophic scenario. Dissecting with realistic clarity the challenges facing the Chinese economy, she makes a compelling case for its continued robustness in multiple sectors in the years ahead.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Ann Lee is a former visiting professor at Peking University and a recognised authority on China’s political economy and in this rose-tinted and slightly complacent essay, she argues that China is essentially a special economic case that will not collapse as western economists fear because structurally it has mechanisms in place to prevent it.
