Market in State is a book I co-authored with Zheng Yongnian, a leading political scientist specialized in China. Focusing on the evolving relations between the state and market from late imperial to contemporary China, Market in State present a theory of Chinese capitalism by identifying and analyzing three layers of the market system in the contemporary Chinese economy. These are, namely, a free market economy at the bottom, state capitalism at the top, and a middle ground in between. By examining Chinese economic practices through both theoretical and historical lens, the book sets out the analytical framework of ‘market in state’ to conceptualize the market not as an autonomous self-regulating order but part and parcel of a state-centered order.

Reviews
‘Yongnian Zheng and Yanjie Huang have produced a brilliant and unique study of the state and market in China, based on a profound knowledge of the history and modern evolution of China’s economic and political institutions. Their balanced and objective study provides a thoroughly distinctive analysis of the Chinese state and its relationship to the economic system. It should be mandatory reading for anyone with a serious interest in understanding China today and its development trajectory.’
Peter Nolan – Director, China Centre, Jesus College, University of Cambridge
‘This study carefully explores the efforts of a centralized state to develop markets that, in modern times, adapted to a variety of free market mechanisms. The analysis of China’s ventures into all levels of a global economy leads the authors to new theoretical insights into the market’s impact on state development. It also shows how and why Chinese experiments have made an impact on our understanding of political economy. All students of contemporary China will find the study original and enlightening.’
Wang Gungwu – National University of Singapore
‘Market in State is a magisterial work of huge ambition on which it delivers richly … Anyone seriously concerned with Chinese political economy should read this book carefully and grapple with it seriously.’
