The Political Economy of the Chinese Coal Industry (Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy)

Coal mining is one of China’s largest industries, and provides an excellent case study through which to consider the broader issues of China’s transition from socialism to capitalism, focussing on the shift to a market economy, the rise of rural industry and the situation of China’s working class. Coal was one of the pillars of the planned economy but, the author argues, its shift to market-based operations has been protracted and difficult, particularly in moving from the artificially low prices of the planned economy to market prescribed prices - a change that had a major impact on the industry’s financial performance. The book goes on to considers the growth of small rural coal mines as part of the Township and Village Enterprises (TVEs) programme; these small mines have brought prosperity to areas where small manufacturing enterprises are not competitive, but at the same time have been the cause of many social and environmental problems. It also examines the situation of coal miners - arguably one the most vulnerable segments of the Chinese working class - under socialism and under capitalism, paying particular attention to the issue of work safety and coal mine disasters. The book provides a comprehensive and coherent treatment of these issues from the establishment of the People’s Republic up to 2010.

Routledge

This book provides an important contribution to the economic history of modern China. It examines the history of the coal mining industry - one of China's largest and most important - from the beginnings of modernisation around 1895 to the start of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937. It addresses questions of both economic and socio-political history and contributes to our knowledge of many aspects of early twentieth-century Chinese history. It examines the slow growth of the modern sector of the Chinese economy and considers the effects of foreign investment and ownership, the supply of capital, the technology of production, the availability of local entrepreneurship and compares the evolution of the Chinese coal industry with development elsewhere. This book will be of interest to those concerned with the problems of industrial growth in general as well as to specialists on modern China.

Every pastor knows that parish ministry is about life in the long haul. All of one’s enthusiasm, training, and sense of God’s call will one day run into the wall of too many meetings, too little sleep, and too few affirmations that what one does makes a difference. This is the point at which ministry becomes a burden rather than a joy, and burnout looms large as a possibility. Pastors need to remind themselves, says Tim Wright, that ministry is a marathon. To survive and thrive in a marathon requires training, pacing oneself, perseverance and endurance, and constantly remembering that the goal lies ahead. To survive and thrive in ministry requires taking care of oneself physically, maintaining a vital and disciplined relationship to God, and always pressing on “toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.” Written in an engaging and inspirational style, this book will help pastors and other clergy develop the perspectives and practices that will enable them to run the ministry marathon.
