Reviews
'Although there have been positive changes in some aspects of peasant life, there are continued challenges as Hiroki Takeuchi's excellent book explains. ... Takeuchi uses the general theoretical literature on the political economy of taxation to illustrate the difficulties and the eventual failures of most tax reforms in rural China.' Chow Bing Ngeow, Journal of Chinese Political Science
