Book Synopsis China and Socialism by : Martin Hart-Landsberg And Paul Burkett
Download or read book China and Socialism written by Martin Hart-Landsberg And Paul Burkett and published by Aakar Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fastest-Growing Economy In The World Today Is That Of China. For Many On The Left, The Chinese Economy Seems To Provide An Alternative Model Of Development To The Of Neoliberal Globalization. Although It Is A Disputed Question Whether The Chinese Economy Can Be Still Described As Socialist, There Is No Doubting The Importance For The Global Project Of Socialism Of Accurately Interpreting And Soberly Assessing Its Real Prospects. Hart-Landsberg And Burkett S China And Socialism Argues That Market Reforms In China Are Leading Inexorably Toward A Capitalist And Foreign-Dominated Development Path, With Enormous Social And Political Costs, Both Domestically And Internationally. The Rapid Economic Growth That Accompanied These Market Reforms Have Not Been Due To Efficiency Gains, But Rather To Deliberate Erosion Of The Infrastructure That Made Possible A Remarkable Degree Of Equality. The Transition To The Market Has Been Based On Rising Unemployment, Intensified Exploitation, Declining Health And Education Services, Exploding Government Debt, And Unstable Prices. At The Same Time, China S Economic Transformation Has Intensified The Contradictions Of Capitalist Development In Other Countries, Especially In East Asia. Far From Being A Model That Is Replicable In Other Third World Countries, China Today Is A Reminder Of The Need For Socialism To Be Built From The Grassroots Up, Through Class Struggle And International Solidarity.

In short, the resolute focus is the Reform and Opening-Up. Socialism with Chinese Characteristics is one of the most important global realities today.

Book Synopsis Village China Under Socialism and Reform by : Huaiyin Li
Download or read book Village China Under Socialism and Reform written by Huaiyin Li and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-12 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Village China Under Socialism and Reform offers a comprehensive account of rural life after the communist revolution, detailing villager involvement in political campaigns since the 1950s, agricultural production under the collective system, family farming and non-agricultural economy in the reform, and everyday life in the family and community. Li's rich examination draws on original documents from local agricultural collectives, newly accessible government archives, and his own fieldwork in Qin village of Jiangsu province to highlight the continuities in rural transformation. Firmly disagreeing with those who claim that recent developments in rural China represent a radical break with pre-reform sociopolitical practices and patterns of production, Li instead draws a clear history connecting the current situation to ecological, social, and institutional changes that have persisted from the collective era.
Book Synopsis Feminism and Socialism in China by : Elisabeth Croll
Download or read book Feminism and Socialism in China written by Elisabeth Croll and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1978, Feminism and Socialism in Chinaexplores the inter-relationship of feminism and socialism and the contribution of each towards the redefinition of the role and status of women in China. In her history of the women’s movement in China from the late nineteenth century onwards, Professor Croll provides an opportunity to study its construction, its ideological and structural development over a number of decades, and its often ambiguous relationship with a parallel movement to establish socialism. Based on a variety of material including eye witness accounts, the author examines a wide range of fundamental issues, including women’s class and oppression, the relation of women’s solidarity groups to class organisations, reproduction and the accommodation of domestic labour, women in the labour process, and the relationship between women’s participation in social production and their access to and control of political and economic resources. The book includes excerpts from studies of village and communal life, documents of the women’s movement and interviews with members of the movement.
Book Synopsis China's Communist Party by : David L Shambaugh
Download or read book China's Communist Party written by David L Shambaugh and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2008-04-02 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few issues affect the future of China--and hence all the nations that interact with China--more than the nature of its ruling party and government. In this timely study, David Shambaugh assesses the strengths and weaknesses, durability, adaptability, and potential longevity of China's Communist Party (CCP). He argues that although the CCP has been in a protracted state of atrophy, it has undertaken a number of adaptive measures aimed at reinventing itself and strengthening its rule. Shambaugh's investigation draws on a unique set of inner-Party documents and interviews, and he finds that China's Communist Party is resilient and will continue to retain its grip on power.

Book Synopsis How China Became Capitalist by : R. Coase
Download or read book How China Became Capitalist written by R. Coase and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How China Became Capitalist details the extraordinary, and often unanticipated, journey that China has taken over the past thirty five years in transforming itself from a closed agrarian socialist economy to an indomitable economic force in the international arena. The authors revitalise the debate around the rise of the Chinese economy through the use of primary sources, persuasively arguing that the reforms implemented by the Chinese leaders did not represent a concerted attempt to create a capitalist economy, and that it was 'marginal revolutions' that introduced the market and entrepreneurship back to China. Lessons from the West were guided by the traditional Chinese principle of 'seeking truth from facts'. By turning to capitalism, China re-embraced her own cultural roots. How China Became Capitalist challenges received wisdom about the future of the Chinese economy, warning that while China has enormous potential for further growth, the future is clouded by the government's monopoly of ideas and power. Coase and Wang argue that the development of a market for ideas which has a long and revered tradition in China would be integral in bringing about the Chinese dream of social harmony.

Book Synopsis Is the East Still Red? by : Gary Blank
Download or read book Is the East Still Red? written by Gary Blank and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does China represent a non-capitalist alternative to neoliberal development models? Commentators on the left have offered sharply divergent assessments over the last two decades. A few still cling the old dream of market socialism, twinning efficiency with social justice. For most, however, China is proof that market reforms invariably yield dispossession, inequality, and capitalist restoration. Is the East Still Red? argues that both interpretations are wrong and exhibit a common failure to distinguish between market mechanisms and capitalist imperatives. Gary Blank situates the Chinese experience within broader Marxist debates on socio-historical transitions and primitive accumulation, highlighting the need to conceptualize capitalism as a unique system in which producers and appropriators depend on the market for their reproduction. Despite years of marketization, the mandarins in Beijing have not yet imposed full market dependence in industry and agriculture. He shows how the resistance of workers and peasants, the imperatives of party-state legitimacy, and the reproductive strategies of individual Communist officials and managers all act to perpetuate central aspects of a bureaucratic-collectivist system, in which direct producers and bureaucrats are effectively merged with the means of production. The People’s Republic may be a non-capitalist market alternative, albeit one that is hardly edifying for socialists.

Download or read book Unending Capitalism written by Karl Gerth and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What forces shaped the twentieth-century world? Capitalism and communism are usually seen as engaged in a fight-to-the-death during the Cold War. With the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party aimed to end capitalism. Karl Gerth argues that despite the socialist rhetoric of class warfare and egalitarianism, Communist Party policies actually developed a variety of capitalism and expanded consumerism. This negated the goals of the Communist Revolution across the Mao era (1949–1976) down to the present. Through topics related to state attempts to manage what people began to desire - wristwatches and bicycles, films and fashion, leisure travel and Mao badges - Gerth challenges fundamental assumptions about capitalism, communism, and countries conventionally labeled as socialist. In so doing, his provocative history of China suggests how larger forces related to the desire for mass-produced consumer goods reshaped the twentieth-century world and remade people's lives.
