Professor Barry Naughton and famed Chinese economist Wu Jinglian to talk about their just-released book "Wu Jinglian: Voice of Reform in China" and about China?s reform.
Published by MIT press in 2013, the book includes Wu Jinglian's most important writings on the Chinese reform, accompanied by insightful introductions by Barry Naughton. This is how Naughton introduced him in the beginning of the book:
For more than thirty years, Wu Jinglian has been widely regarded as China's most celebrated and influential economist. In the late 1970s, Wu (b. 1930) was one of a small group of economic thinkers who broke with Marxist concepts and learned the principles of a market economy. Since then he has been at the center of economic reform in China, moving seamlessly as an "insider outsider" between academic and policy roles. In recent years, Wu has emerged as a prominent public intellectual fighting not just for market reform but also for a democratic society backed by the rule of law? MIT Press
A book signing by Wu Jinglian and Barry Naughton will be held after the talk.
