This chapter examines China’s industrialization in the light of the Lewis growth model. Even casual observation suggests that the Chinese economy has many of the features that the Lewis model tries to capture. Yet, while the Lewis model has been applied to study industrialization of other countries, surprisingly little, if any, effort has been made in this respect with regard to China.1 This chapter is an attempt to fill this void.
