Zhu Rongji and China's Economic Take-Off

Imperial College Press, 2016. Hardcover. Pp: 336. Following Deng Xiaoping's economic reform and opening (Gaige Kaifang) policy, China experienced unprecedented high growth for over three decades. Crucial in the process was the role of Zhu Rongji, who was hand-picked by Deng initially as Executive Vice-Premier and later full Premier to carry through the needed reform and manage the critical marketization process through the turbulent 1990s when China's economy suffered many ups and downs. Dubbed as China's "Economic Czar", Zhu tackled many thorny problems associated with the country's then half-reformed economy ably and effectively, thereby laying the ground for subsequent periods of greater dynamic growth. Zhu was instrumental in preparing China's economy for its final take-off. The chapters in this volume were originally written as "policy briefings" for the Singapore government from 1997 to 2003 when Zhu was Premier. They cover a wide variety of topics including how he had applied his own way of "macroeconomic control" (Hongguan Tiaokong), how he went about reforming taxation, foreign exchange and state-owned enterprises, and finally his embrace of capitalism. Each chapter is preceded by a detailed introduction highlighting the main issues and interpreting them from today's perspective based on updated information and additional new research. ISBN: 9781783268825. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

WONG - Hoeven, Joost van der & Kenny Schachter & Richard Shiff & Sofia Silva & John Yau:

Matthew Wong. Schilderen als laatste toevlucht.

2024, (22,5 x 27 cm), 176 pp. Dutch, 135 colour ills., softcover. 'Ik zie mezelf in hem. In de onmogelijkheid ergens toe te behoren in deze wereld.' - Matthew Wong over Vincent van Gogh, 21 november 2018. De Chinees-Canadese kunstenaar Matthew Wong (1984-2019) gebruikte kleur op een expressieve manier en legde door middel van dik en dynamisch opgebrachte verf zijn persoonlijkheid in zijn werk. Als autodidact onderwees hij zichzelf in de Europees-Amerikaanse en Chinese kunstgeschiedenis en vond hij in het werk van Van Gogh een belangrijk voorbeeld. Beide kunstenaars gaven met vergelijkbare directheid uiting aan hun binnenwereld. De parallellen tussen de levens van Wong en Van Gogh zijn bovendien opmerkelijk. Zowel Van Gogh als Wong zocht lang naar een roeping in het leven, en beiden vonden deze uiteindelijk in het schilderen. In de catalogus wordt deze verwantschap nader onderzocht, aan de hand van een overzicht van het indrukwekkende oeuvre van Matthew Wong.
