内容简介:
揭示中国非凡崛起与金融改革的真相！阅读这本书，可以从一个独特的视角，对中国改革开放30年，特别是金融改革20年波澜壮阔的历史进程有一个全新的了解。作者通过对中国的银行及货币政策，股票及债券市场如何一步一步发展、壮大的历史总结，包括对中国金融高层决策的一些重要背景及金融交易内幕的研究分析，提出了很多独特而深刻的洞见。In Red Capitalism, Carl Walter and Fraser Howie detail how the Chinese government reformed and modeled its financial system in the 30 years since it began its policy of engagement with the west. Instead of a stable series of policies producing steady growth, China s financial sector has boomed and gone bust with regularity in each decade. The latest decade is little different. Chinese banks have become objects of political struggle while they totter under balance sheets bloated by the excessive state-directed lending and bond issuance of 2009. Looking forward, the government s response to the global financial crisis has created a banking system the stability of which can be maintained only behind the walls of a non-convertible currency, a myriad of off-balance sheet arrangements with non-public state entities and the strong support of its best borrowers–the politically potent National Champions–who are the greatest beneficiaries of the financial status quo.China s financial system is not a model for the west and, indeed, is not a sustainable arrangement for China itself as it seeks increasingly to assert its influence internationally. This is not a story of impending collapse, but of frustrated reforms that suggests that any full opening and meaningful reform of the financial sector is not, indeed cannot be, on the government s agenda anytime soon.
