The Chinese Economy
China’s transformation over the past four decades has been unprecedented.The vision of its leaders for the next three decades is unprecedented too, as China seeks to fashion an advanced economy without significant political and social liberalization. Stephen Morgan provides a wide-ranging examination of China’s remarkable economic history from the time of the great divergence to the present day.Alongside the familiar story of GDP growth, he considers a comprehensive range of issues, including business management, energy use, foreign direct investment, government, innovation and consumerism as well as social and demographic factors such as social networks, health, education and migration and their interlinked challenges for the Chinese state.The specifics of development are examined – capitalism from above and below and its regional variances – as well as notable consequences, including growing inequality and severe pollution.The book also assesses the challenges to China’s continued growth, including its ageing and shrinking workforce (and rising dependency ratio), the constraints on innovation and raising productivity, as well as its ambitious international plans. The book provides an accessible and authoritative survey of China’s recent economic history and the workings of its unique political economy suitable for courses in Asian business and economy, Chinese history and East Asian studies.

Gender Equality and the Cultural Economy : Comparative Perspectives
The status of women in the creative and cultural industries remains precarious.This comparative analysis provides insights from seven key economies to help understand progress towards gender equality in culture and the arts and the broader cultural economy. With empirical and policy analysis spanning Europe and the US, the authors investigate the extent to which gender equality has entered the mainstream along dimensions of leadership, access and awards, pay and pension gaps, work-life balance, and the monitoring of gender equality.While many of the structural barriers have been erased, countries differ significantly in how much gender equality has been achieved in the creative economy and how much female talent is lost and unrecognized. This book is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners across the human and social sciences, especially those involved with arts management and the creative or cultural economy more broadly.

How did the Chinese economy explode like that?
The Chinese economy experienced explosive growth due to a combination of factors. First, the government implemented economic reforms in the late 1970s, transitioning from a centrally planned economy to a more market-oriented one. This allowed for increased private enterprise and foreign investment. Additionally, China has a large and relatively low-cost labor force, which attracted foreign companies looking to outsource manufacturing. The country also invested heavily in infrastructure and technology, further fueling its economic growth. Finally, China's integration into the global economy through trade and investment has also contributed to its rapid economic expansion.

Free market economy or planned economy?
The choice between a free market economy and a planned economy depends on the specific goals and values of a society. A free market economy allows for individual freedom and competition, which can lead to innovation and efficiency. However, it can also result in inequality and lack of regulation. On the other hand, a planned economy allows for more control and distribution of resources, but it can stifle individual initiative and innovation. Ultimately, the decision between the two depends on the balance a society seeks between individual freedom and social equality.
-
Why market economy and not planned economy?
A market economy is preferred over a planned economy because it allows for individual freedom and choice in economic decision-making. In a market economy, prices are determined by supply and demand, leading to efficient allocation of resources. Additionally, competition in a market economy encourages innovation and productivity, driving economic growth. On the other hand, a planned economy, where the government controls production and distribution, can lead to inefficiencies, lack of innovation, and limited consumer choice.

How are planned economy and shortage economy related?
A planned economy is a system in which the government controls and regulates production, distribution, and prices of goods and services. In a planned economy, resources are allocated based on a central plan rather than market forces. A shortage economy occurs when there is a lack of goods and services available for consumers due to factors such as poor planning, inefficiency, or external shocks. In a planned economy, the risk of a shortage economy is higher as the government may not accurately predict or meet the demands of the population, leading to imbalances in supply and demand.

The Political Economy of News in China: Manufacturing Harmony is the first full-scale application of Herman and Chomsky’s classic propaganda model to the news media content of a country with a system that is not outwardly similar to the United States.Jesse Owen Hearns-Branaman examines the news media of the People’s Republic of China using the five filters of the original model.He asks provocative questions concerning the nature of media ownership, the effect of government or private ownership on media content, the elite-centered nature news sourcing patterns, the benefits and costs of having active special interest groups to influence news coverage, the continued usefulness of the concepts of censorship and propaganda, the ability of advertisers to indirectly influence news production, and the potential increase of pro-capitalist, pro-consumerist ideology and nationalism in Chinese news media.This book will appeal to scholars of international media and journalism.

Defining Web3 : A Guide to the New Cultural Economy
Web3 is the latest transformation of the World Wide Web, centred on public blockchains, Crypto tokens, and an ideology of decentralisation.Defining Web3 presents the state of the art in socio-cultural and economic research from leading scholars in the field of cryptocurrencies and blockchains.Exploring Web3 as a ‘crypto-carnival,’ the papers in this collection take the carnival as their central motif and organising frame to mirror how Web3 is permeated by the carnivalesque, with its games, play, politics, anarchy, dissimulation, humour, vulgarity, excessive consumption, and counter-cultural aesthetics.Walking the line between both enthusiasts and critics, the authors analyse the token economy’s messy complications, excesses, dangers, and tensions, and how they might play out for the future of the Internet. Bringing together researchers, artists, and organisational designers to explore Web3’s potential as a progressive platform for creative social coordination, this uniquely experimental volume tackles the deceptively simple question, ‘What is Web3?’ and imagines where it might take us next.

Noise : The Political Economy of Music
“Noise is a model of cultural historiography. . . . In its general theoretical argument on the relations of culture to economy, but also in its specialized concentration, Noise has much that is of importance to critical theory today.” SubStance“For Attali, music is not simply a reflection of culture, but a harbinger of change, an anticipatory abstraction of the shape of things to come.The book’s title refers specifically to the reception of musics that sonically rival normative social orders.Noise is Attali’s metaphor for a broad, historical vanguardism, for the radical soundscapes of the western continuum that express structurally the course of social development.” EthnomusicologyJacques Attali is the author of numerous books, including Millennium: Winners and Losers in the Coming World Order and Labyrinth in Culture and Society.

What is the difference between social market economy, free market economy, and planned economy?
A social market economy combines elements of both a free market economy and a planned economy. It allows for private ownership of businesses and resources, while also implementing government regulations to ensure fair competition and social welfare. In contrast, a free market economy relies on minimal government intervention, allowing businesses to operate with little regulation. On the other hand, a planned economy is centrally controlled by the government, with decisions regarding production, distribution, and pricing made by central authorities.

Are there any evidence that the Chinese economy is currently weakening?
Yes, there is evidence that the Chinese economy is currently weakening. China's economic growth has been slowing down in recent years, with the country's GDP growth rate reaching its lowest level in nearly 30 years in 2019. Additionally, China's manufacturing sector has been experiencing a slowdown, with the official manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) falling below the 50-point mark, indicating a contraction in the sector. The ongoing trade tensions with the United States have also had a negative impact on China's economy, leading to decreased exports and investment. Overall, these factors suggest that the Chinese economy is currently weakening.

Is Germany a centrally planned economy, a social market economy, or a free market economy?
Germany is considered a social market economy. This means that while it operates within a free market framework, the government plays a significant role in regulating the economy and providing social welfare programs. The social market economy model aims to balance economic freedom with social responsibility, promoting competition and entrepreneurship while also ensuring social security and a fair distribution of wealth. This approach has been a key factor in Germany's economic success and stability.

How do planned economy and social market economy differ?
A planned economy is one in which the government controls all aspects of economic production and distribution, including setting prices and determining what goods and services are produced. In contrast, a social market economy is a system in which the government plays a more limited role, allowing for private ownership and competition while also providing social safety nets and regulations to ensure fair competition and protect consumers. In a planned economy, the government has a central role in decision-making, while in a social market economy, the market plays a more significant role, with government intervention focused on ensuring fairness and social welfare.
