In just a couple decades China has grown from a largely agrarian society to the world’s second largest economy. How has China managed to lift more than half of its population out of poverty and become one of the most prosperous countries in the world?
Sharing insights from his recent book, Bradley M. Gardner shows how the migration of 260 million people from China’s rural countryside to its giant cities transformed the nation. He draws on his extensive experience as a journalist and researcher working in China to explain how the largest economic migration in the history of the world transformed China into the industrial powerhouse it is today.
