The crux of this debate is not whether China needs industrial policies, but rather, the kind of industrial policies it wants. Given the profound changes to the domestic and international environments, and institutional background during China's industrial development, industrial policies must be able to make up for \"market failures,\" while avoiding \"government failures\". To this end, it is suggested to establish a \"market-friendly\" industrial policy system dominated by functional industrial policies, in accordance with the requirements of building an \"interactive and cooperative\" government-market relationship to help transform and upgrade China's industries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUB CO INC","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51544439914786,"sku":"9789811224072-new","price":134.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4755\/5618\/files\/9789811224072.jpg?v=1776403789"},{"product_id":"women-work-sexual-politics-eighteenth-century-england-9781857282139-new","title":"Women, Work And Sexual Politics In Eighteenth-Century England","description":"The author offers a reassessment of how women's experience of work in 18th- century England was affected by industrialization and other elements of economic, social and technological change.; This study focuses on the household, the most important unit of production in the 18th century. Hill examines the work done by the women of the household, not only in \"housework\" but also in agriculture and manufacturing, and explains what women lost as the household's independence as a unit of economic production was undermined.; Considering the whole range of activities in which women were involved - including many occupations unrecorded in censuses which have, therefore, been largely ignored by historians - Hill charts the increasing sexual division of labour and highlights its implications. She also discusses the role of service in husbandry and apprenticeship, as sources of training for women, and the consequences of their decline.; The final part of the book considers how the changing nature of women's work influenced courtship, marriage and relations between the sexes. Among the topics discussed are the importance of the women's contribution to setting up and maintaining a household; labouring women's attitudes to marriage and divorce and the customary alternatives to them; and the role of spinsters and widows. The author concludes by asking to what extent the industrial revolution improved the overall position of women and the opportunities open to them.; This series aims to re-establish women's history, and to challenge the assumptions of much mainstream history. Focusing on the modern period and encouraging perspectives from other disciplines, it seeks to concentrate upon areas of focal importance in the history of Britain and continental Europe.; Bridget Hill is the author of \"Eighteenth-Century Women: An Anthology\" and \"The First English Feminist\".","brand":"TAYLOR \u0026 FRANCIS","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51545574211874,"sku":"9781857282139-new","price":64.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4755\/5618\/files\/9781857282139.jpg?v=1776424383"},{"product_id":"theories-labor-movement-9780814318164-new","title":"Theories of the Labor Movement","description":"\u003cp\u003eRespecting both the history a labor theories and the variety of theoretical points of view concerning the labor movement, this collection of readings includes selections by Karl Marx, V.
