Slides and video recordings of each session

Reading list

- Barry Naughton. 2018. the Chinese economy: transitions and growth. Cambridge/London: MIT Press.
- Arthur R Kroeber. 2016. The Chinese Economy. What Everyone Needs to Know®. New York: Oxford University Press.
- Morgan , Stephen L. (2020) The Chinese Economy. Agenda Publishing
- Supplementary materials

Note: only the content presented on the slides and audio recordings is relevant for the exam. The above sources, as well as the literature added during the VL, should help you better understand this content. Ideally, you should read selectively, i.e. with regard to phenomena and events that are presented on the slides but are not comprehensible to you. This should prepare you optimally for further study (and of course the exam).

So it is by no means a matter of memorizing the extensive material, but of reading selectively, distinguishing the important from the unimportant, asking questions, deepening your understanding, and thinking in depth about the connections between the many factors we will be talking about in the coming weeks.
