Democracy and organisation in the Chinese industrial enterprise (1948-1953)
Originally published in 1976, this book examines how a new system of factory management was implemented in China after the liberation of 1948–9. The focus of the book is broadly political and sociological rather than economic, and the author examines closely the political background against which economic change was introduced.
