China's Reform: History, Logic, and Future, (with Xudong Chen), Springer (joint with SJTUP), 2022. This book is about where to go and what to do in China's reform. It reviews and grasps China's reform through a qualitative analysis of economic theories and an empirical analysis of statistics from a historical perspective spanning over 180 years. We provide valuable insights and formulate institutional reform suggestions on how China realizes a successful social transformation and achieves benign and sustainable economic development, social harmony, democracy, and the rule of law in order to integrate peacefully into the global system and become a world power trusted and supported by other nations.more>>
