Springer New Supply Side Economics: The Structural Reform on Supply Side and Sustainable Growth

This book investigates the basic theoretical framework and conducts a logical analysis of China’s new supply-side economics, while also providing a strategic path to remedy the plight of China’s economic development. From the perspective of connotation, theory and methods, China’s structural reform differs both from that proposed by the Western supply-side school or supply-side economics, and from that proposed by structural economists. The theoretical basis of supply-side structural reform falls under socialist political economics with Chinese characteristics, and the new supply-side economics represent an important component of socialist political economics with Chinese characteristics.
