AWARD HONORED WORK: “Capitalist Leap: China Plays The Market”
This compelling, easy-to-digest article raised the curtain on a magic trick China had pulled off when most of the world wasn’t watching: its creation, acceptance and endorsement of capitalistic-style financial markets. The story combined considerable research with original reporting to provide a fascinating look at how the Chinese government encouraged the development of financial markets while spouting devotion to socialism.
