"China's Great Migration combines on-the-ground reporting with
significant economic and historical scholarship, and it's a great
read. Gardner has written an important book for anyone interested
in understanding China, migration, or the economics of development.
Highly recommended!" --Alexander Tabarrok, Bartley J. Madden Chair
and Professor of Economics, George Mason University
"China's Great Migration is a fascinating book. What has worked in
China can work even better globally, if we change our entrenched
views about international migration. An open, global, labor market
can make the 21st century more prosperous and peaceful." --Ning
Wang, Fellow, Coase Institute of Law & Economics, Shanghai Jiao
Tong University; author (with Nobel Laureate economist Ronald
Coase), How China Became Capitalist

key for Chinese economic development. The Chinese migration
movement is the key for Chinese development. The book is also great
in terms of comparative value." --Kate Xiao Zhou, Professor,

Political Science, University of Hawaii at Manoa; author, How the
Farmers Changed China: The Power of the People and China's Long
March to Freedom: Grassroots Modernizaton

when political forces in the developed world are turning against

Prize Laureate, Economic Sciences; Regius Professor of Economics,

"China's Great Migration marks a major contribution to the
understanding of China's spectacular growth, to the literature on
development and especially to the ongoing global elusive quest for
poverty-reduction." --Jean-Pierre Lehmann, Emeritus Professor,
International Political Economy, IMD; Visiting Professor, Business
and Economics, Hong Kong University; Founding Director, The Evian
Group

better book about China's economic transformation." --Timothy J.
Kane, J.P. Conte Fellow, Immigration Studies, Hoover Institution,
