China’s Age of Abundance: Origins, Ascendance and Aftermath

Nov. 14, 2024: China’s Age of Abundance: Origins, Ascendance and Aftermath
In four decades since the late 1970s, China has experienced one of the most consequential economic transformations in world history. One-fifth of the Earth’s population has left behind a life of scarcity and subsistence for one of abundance and material comfort. Has China’s rapid economic growth reached an end? What lessons can one learn to appreciate China’s historical ascendance to material abundance? Professor Wang revisited common narratives about China’s spectacular transformation in the last four decades and offers his own interpretation.
This public lecture is organized by the 21st Century China Center at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy. For more information on China activities, please visit china.ucsd.edu.
