Bentley economist Scott Sumner has written a sweeping blog
post collating several different lines of thought on Chinese
economics. For folks like me, more or less completely ignorant of
what's going on with the one-sixth of the world that live in
China, it's fascinating to read about the various economic
policies that have succeeded and failed in different provinces in
China, and the naturally arising ground-up non-policies that
helped lead to the incredible growth China has enjoyed over the
past few decades.
