Opis

It is often assumed that privatization leads to profit, and that well-delineated property rights and a strong private sector will help boost an economy. This text investigates the property rights in Chinese enterprises in the reform era, finding that the distinction between the public and the private is blurred, that national reform policies are implemented unevenly across the country and that enterprises owned by local governments, in Shanghai for example, are actually extremely profitable.
