Book Description
Since 1978 China has made remarkable economic progress with the average rate of growth exceeding 9% per year. The National Economic Atlas of China is the most comprehensive and detailed picture of this achievement. It is based on the largest and most far-reaching investigations ever conducted at the national level in China including the Industrial Census of 1985 and the Third and Fourth Population Censuses of 1982 and 1990. This extensive collection of data is presented in map and text form. The 265 full-color maps and text have been divided into eleven topics: geographical and administrative background; resources; population; general economy; agriculture; industry; communications; building, urban construction, and environmental protection; commerce, foreign trade, tourism and finance; education, scientific research, culture, sports, and health; and the regional comprehensive economy of each of China's provinces and major cities. The maps illustrate over 500 socioeconomic indicators at the country and city level, revealing the quantitative and qualitative aspects of China's socioeconomic growth. The text supplements and complements the maps by providing a description and analysis of each major topic, incorporating developments through 1990. This atlas offers the clearest and most comprehensive graphic picture of China ever, and makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the vast economic and social changes that have taken place.

Book Description
Maps capture data expressing the economic complexity of countries from Albania to Zimbabwe, offering current economic measures and as well as a guide to achieving prosperity Why do some countries grow and others do not? The authors of The Atlas of Economic Complexity offer readers an explanation based on "Economic Complexity," a measure of a society's productive knowledge. Prosperous societies are those that have the knowledge to make a larger variety of more complex products. The Atlas of Economic Complexity attempts to measure the amount of productive knowledge countries hold and how they can move to accumulate more of it by making more complex products. Through the graphical representation of the "Product Space," the authors are able to identify each country's "adjacent possible," or potential new products, making it easier to find paths to economic diversification and growth. In addition, they argue that a country's economic complexity and its position in the product space are better predictors of economic growth than many other well-known development indicators, including measures of competitiveness, governance, finance, and schooling. Using innovative visualizations, the book locates each country in the product space, provides complexity and growth potential rankings for 128 countries, and offers individual country pages with detailed information about a country's current capabilities and its diversification options. The maps and visualizations included in the Atlas can be used to find more viable paths to greater productive knowledge and prosperity.
