1. Wu Xiaobo, Wu Jinglian Zhuan: Yige Zhongguo Jingjixuejia de Xiaoxiang [Biography of Wu Jinglian: Portrait of a Chinese Economist], Beijing: Zhongxin [China CITIC] Press, 2010, p. 150. Note that, in Chinese, appending the term shichang (market) to Wu’s surname makes it sound as if his personal name is “market,” and it has a slightly comical but entirely appropriate feel, which is completely lost in the literal English rendering of “Market Wu.” But calling him “Mr. Market” comes close to the feeling in the original, since it is both serious and lightly comic.

2. Indeed the article “A Discussion of Plan and Market as Resource Allocation Mechanisms,” forged in a heated debate with reform opponents in 1990, is reprinted as the first selection in Wu’s Self-selected Volume, under the general category of “Basic Theory of Market-Oriented Economic Reform.”

3. In addition, as we will see later, Wu Jinglian was involved in devising this “authorized expression” in 1984.

6. Zhao Ziyang, Prisoner of the State: The Secret Journal of Zhao Ziyang, New York: Simon and Schuster, 2010. Zhao’s memoirs treat this period well and are convincing, although extremely brief (not surprising, since they were surreptitiously recorded while Zhao was under house arrest, and smuggled out of the country). Barry Naughton, “A Political Economy of China’s Economic Transition,” in Loren Brandt and Thomas Rawski, eds., China’s Great Economic Transformation, New York: Cambridge University Press, 2008, pp. 91–135.

7. Joseph Fewsmith, Dilemmas of Reform in China: Political Conflict and Economic Debate, Armonck, NY: M.E. Sharpe, 1994, is the best account. See also Naughton, Growing Out of the Plan, pp. 187–99.

8. Wu Xiaobo, pp. 126–33 provides an outstanding account of the process.

This speech was originally made on December 25, 1989, and subsequently revised and published in Qiushi Magazine (1990, no. 4), then republished in the main national newspapers.
