China's Consumer Revolution

About this book

"China's rapid economic growth has attracted much international attention in recent years, partly due to the potential purchasing power of the largest population in the world. This book examines general patterns of Chinese household demand for a variety of consumer goods such as food, durables, housing and health care and investigates the impact of economic and social factors on household consumption." "Drawing upon newly released household surveys, this book is the first of its kind and it will be of interest to both academic researchers and business advisers."--BOOK JACKET.
