《中国如何跳出贫困陷阱》 / How China Escaped the Poverty Trap

[[HowChinaEscapedPovertyTrap|《中国如何跳出贫困陷阱》]] enters the wiki through 150.“中国如何跳出贫困陷阱”，现代化之路又会走向何方 as [[YuenYuenAng|洪源远]]’s book on how China began market development without first possessing the fully formal institutions usually associated with advanced markets. The episode reads it as the best micro-institutional complement to [[LiLu|李璐]]’s civilization framework and Dan Wang’s Breakneck.

The book’s source-scoped lesson is not that weak institutions are good. It is that early development may need to use the institutions, networks, incentives, and political language already available, then upgrade them as markets form. That makes the book central to Weak Institutions Market Building / 弱制度启动市场, Directed Improvisation / 引导创变, Informal Property-Rights Protection / 非正式产权保护, and Local Government Policy Experimentation / 地方政府政策实验.
