ECON231 - Economic Development of China

3 credits
This is a basic survey course on China's economic development from a historical perspective. After a short review of some of China's pre-1949 economic history, the course focuses on the People's Republic, with roughly half the semester devoted to the period of Mao's leadership (1949-1976) and the balance devoted to the post-Mao period of reform and transition to a market economy (1978-present).
Prerequisites: MATH 131 and ECON 101 or 103 and ECON 102 or 104 and ENGL110
