How does the Chinese banking sector really work? Nearly all financial institutions in China are managed by members of the Communist Party, yet economists and even those who engage the Chinese banking sector simply do not have a framework with which to analyze the links between banking and politics. Drawing from interviews, statistical analysis, and archival research, this book is the first to develop a framework with which to analyze how elite politics impact both monetary and banking policies. This book serves as an important reference point for all subsequent work on Chinese banking.

关于本书的逻辑，我不太能理解的是这样一件事情：作者说主政的综合派在面临通胀的时候，只能把权力代理给技术官僚派，让技术官僚派给所有省份的信贷都紧缩起来，这样就公平了。但是为什么当政的人不能自己干这件事？是什么阻碍了主政的人给所有省份紧缩信贷？他缺权力还是身体有缺陷？而且，我猜主政的人一般是不会真的把经济大权交给一个“中立”的派别的。授权这个动作本身就说明他们已经在一条贼船上了。从写作上来说，本书比较…

qualitative部分简直就是严肃版故事会
