Description

As the global economy contracted sharply in late 2008, the PRC government’s massive response helped China
remain one of the few relatively bright spots in a bleak economic landscape. Boosted by the ¥4 trillion ($585 billion)
stimulus package and other measures, such as greater social spending, China may be able to recover more
rapidly than other countries. CBR Editor Virginia Hulme and CBR Assistant Editors Arie Eernisse and Daniel
Strouhal interviewed six prominent China economists in late March and early April.
