The Impact of the Development of the Market Economy in China on Economic Sociology: Concretization of Conditions

For the first time, the article systematizes significant periods in the development of the market in China in practical and theoretical terms. The purpose of the article is to analyze the actual development of the market economy in China, since the 80s of the XX century, in conjunction with the scientific understanding of the ongoing processes in Chinese economic sociology. Problems related to the market have always been the main topic of economic sociology. In the process of researching market formation, economic sociology has developed many different points of view. Special attention is paid to the changes in the Chinese market under the influence of politics, culture and structure after the start of reforms and opening. The importance of indigenous (local) theories for understanding the uniqueness and development trajectories of the Chinese market is emphasized: the conclusion is made about the prospects for future research of Chinese economic sociology, especially in the context of the new policy of a single national market.
The results obtained can be used in further studies of Chinese sociology in general, and economic sociology in particular, to study the characteristic features and features of the institutionalization of branches of sociological knowledge.
