Institutions of Economic Policy

A Comparative Analysis

Command economies in war and in peace

Is China a market economy? Most people asked would agree now. One or two decades ago perhaps half that many people would have accepted the People’s Republic of China as a fully-fledged market. Ask them again, referring to the socio-economic system as capitalism (this name is still in currency among social scientists, but hardly used in daily conversations). Well, the share of positive answers would be much lower. Three or four decades ago? Perhaps a minority of people would have said yes, and even these few would have added: “as far as I know there are lively markets in China”.
