Based on a wide range of primary materials, including interviews, surveys and the author's own recollections of key reformers like Deng Xiaoping, Zhao Ziyang and Hu Yaobang in the mid- 1980s, the book sheds new light on the Chinese approach to economic reform, including its dual goal; soft/hard reforms; dynamic gradualism; ideological reorientation and reform leadership."--BOOK JACKET.
