Ask HN: Recommendations for books on China's history & growth?

I was recently reading an article that told the story about how China used a province/city on the outskirts of Hong Kong to flirt with this experiment called Capitalism. That experiment yielded significant success and upward mobility for the residents of that province. As a result of that, China decided to apply it to the mainland. 20 years later, we are seeing sustained fastest growth of large economies in the world. Does anyone have any good recommendations (books/eBooks/articles) that clearly explain their history, the choices they made, the results and the effect on the people? I guess, generally what I am looking for is substantial, tangible evidence about how capitalism raised millions/hundreds of millions out of absolute poverty. So you don't have to stick to China alone, although they are the most obvious case study. Thanks.
