中国也从苏联解体时那种残酷的自由化进程中吸取了大量教训。他们自己的市场化转型正是明确为了避免这种灾难而设计的。关于这个话题，《中国是如何逃脱休克疗法的》（How China Escaped Shock Therapy）这本书很有意思。
China also learned a lot from the brutal liberalization in the breakup of USSR. Their own shift to markets was explicitly designed to avoid such a catastrophe. The book "How China Escaped Shock Therapy" on the topic is interesting.
价格管制在教科书经济学里被说得一无是处，但在特定环境下其实能发挥不错的效果。可以看看韦伯（Weber）的《中国是如何逃脱休克疗法的》（How China Escaped Shock Therapy）和加尔布雷思（Galbraith）的《价格管制理论》（The Theory of Price Control）。这就是把供求关系当成包治百病万能理论的问题所在，它会让人们变成自以为是的理论家而对事实视而不见。
Price controls are bad in textbook economics but they can actually work well in certain circumstances. See Weber’s “How China Escaped Shock Therapy” and Galbraith’s “The Theory of Price Control.” This is the problem with supply and demand as the master theory of everything, it leads people to be overconfident theorists and ignore evidence.
