Deng Yingtao

Opis

The need for China to find a new, environmentally sustainable development path is accepted widely among Chinese scholars and policy makers. This book makes available for the first time to an English–speaking audience Deng Yingtao's path-breaking 1991 book, which was far ahead of its time. Deng subjects the development model of high income countries to rigorous analysis and explores the environmental implications of China following this model. His clear conclusion is that economic and social development should not exceed the carrying capacity of resources, and that China should lead the way in finding its own solution, rather than adopting the western development path.
