Opis

Rapid economic and social transformation in rural China has aroused enormous scholarly interest at home and abroad. However, a systematic study of this new mode of resource distribution has yet to be written, and the complex nature of resource allocation in the present-day peasant society of China has yet to be surveyed independently. This book looks into issues relating to the allocation of income, opportunities, and assets in a village society, shedding light on the agent and mechanism of resource distribution in the post-reform era.
