THE RATE AND PATTERN OF INDUSTRIAL GROWTH IN COMMUNIST CHINA,
Abstract
The book being reviewed consists of four main chapters. The first discusses briefly the various formulae of production indexes. The second examines the major deficiencies in the way the Communist Chinese statisticians compute their industrial production index. The third explains in detail the construction of the two new indexes, one including and the other excluding handicraft output. The fourth evaluates the new indexes, comments on the rates of growth, and compares them with an estimate by Liu-Yeh and with those of other countries. The book also contains three appendices dealing with: the effects of industrialization and production indexes, the industrial ministries of Communist China, and statistical tables.
