Reviews

Professor Wallace offers readers a fascinating volume on how quantification and governance have gone hand in hand in China and their discontents. This is a unique perspective on and reinterpretation of China's political economy in recent decades. -Dali L. Yang, William C. Reavis Professor of Political Science, The University of Chicago In this important book, Jeremy Wallace shows why the center in China has limited its vision to a few quantifiable indicators, such as GDP, investment, and fiscal revenue. This focus has led to a failure to see local problems like protests, debt, and pollution. Wallace's arguments speak to key debates in the study of authoritarian politics. -Martin K. Dimitrov, Professor of Political Science, Tulane University
