How China Escaped the Poverty Trap is an award-winning book published by Yuen Yuen Ang, Alfred Chandler Chair Professor of Political Economy, in 2016. The book received the Peter Katzenstein Prize in Political Economy and the Viviana Zelizer Prize in Economic Sociology, and was recommended by The Economist and Foreign Affairs. It has appeared in multiple translations and continues to be read and commented on by readers worldwide.
To mark the tenth anniversary of its publication—and its forthcoming appearance in open access format—this series revisits the generative system of concepts, theories, and methods introduced in the book. Together, these ideas form an intellectual forest that Ang now formalizes as AIM (Adaptive, Inclusive, Moral) Political Economy. This series will also share book reviews and excerpts.
