Double Paradox: Rapid Growth and Rising Corruption in China

by Andrew H. Wedeman

Overview

Drawing on more than three decades of data from China—as well as examples of the interplay between corruption and growth in South Korea, Taiwan, Equatorial Guinea, and other nations in Africa and the Caribbean—Wedeman cautions that rapid growth requires not only ongoing and improved anticorruption efforts but consolidated and strengthened property rights.
