Summary: The ascent of China's economy over the past forty years may be one of the more remarkable happenings in human history. Few understand it. Those outside China consider the massive changes a mystery. Those inside China have been challenged with taking more than 1.3 billion people from an agrarian existence into the modern world, and in the face of complex economics involving extreme conflicts of interest. Nobody ever did it before; nobody will ever do it again. Given the convulsive upheavals required, the difficulty of the task has been, and remains, hard to imagine. This book describes those upheavals and that process over the years from 1978 to 2018. lt represents a remarkable achievement in condensing a welter of events and changes down to the bare essentials. In summing up a period of history, it also serves as a query about what is to come next.过去40年中国经济的崛起，无疑是人类历史上最令人瞩目的事件之一，也是中华民族奋进史上最值得记录的一段光辉岁月。在西方人眼里，中国的巨变始终是一个谜。这里有着极其特殊的文化背景与意识形态，有着异常复杂的经济格局与利益冲突，如何引领一个拥有十几亿人口的农业大国迈向现代化，堪称是"前无古人，后无来者"的巨大命题，其探索之艰辛，震荡之激烈超乎任何人的想象。《中国巨变：1978-2018》是对过去风云激荡的40年的一次高度浓缩。作者以高度概括而又妙趣横生的笔调为我们描述了一个变化的中国，它既是对历史的一次总结，同时也是对未来的一次追问。. |
