Sustainable economic development in South China

the long version

"The transformation and industrialization of rural China is the underlying theme of this book. Using case-studies of selected regions in the south of China, where rural changes have been particularly dramatic, the book discusses and analyses: how, in the process of rural transformation, capital and labour are mobilized and reallocated; some of the problems and consequences of rapid rural industrialization; efforts of local governments to stabilize agriculture during the transition; and the loss of farm land from urbanization and rural industrial growth."--BOOK JACKET.
