How China Escaped Shock Therapy: The Market Reform Debate is a work of economic history and political economy by Isabella M. Weber that examines how China debated the transition from a planned economy toward market reform in the 1980s. Rather than treating reform as a simple move from state control to free markets, the book focuses on the competing policy ideas that shaped how markets were actually created. Its central concern is the contrast between rapid liberalization, often associated with shock therapy, and China’s more gradual, experimental approach. Drawing on archival materials, interviews, and published sources, Weber reconstructs the intellectual and political struggle behind price reform, market creation, and the role of the state in managing transition. The book is especially interested in why China did not follow the same route as Russia and several Eastern European countries. In that sense, it is both a historical study and a broader argument about how institutions, state capacity, and policy sequencing matter in economic transformation.
