This book offers a powerful analysis of China and the transformations it has undertaken since 1989.  Wang Hui is unique in Chinas intellectual world for his ability to synthesize an insiders knowledge of economics  politics  civilization  and Western critical theory. A participant in the Tiananmen Square movement  he is also the editor of the most important intellectual journal in contemporary China. He has a grasp and vision that go beyond contemporary debates to allow him to connect the events of 1989 with a long view of Chinese history. Wang Hui argues that the features of contemporary China are elements of the new global order as a whole in which considerations of economic growth and development have trumped every other concern  particularly those of democracy and social justice. At its heart this book represents an impassioned plea for economic and social justice and an indictment of the corruption caused by the explosion of market extremism.  As Wang Hui observes  terms like free and unregulated are largely ideological constructs masking the intervention of highly manipulative  coercive governmental actions on behalf of economic policies that favor a particular scheme of capitalist acquisitionsomething that must be distinguished from truly free markets. He sees new openings toward social  political  and economic democracy in China as the only agencies by which the unstable conditions thus engendered can be remedied.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648125132853,"sku":"ByrdShop_0674021118","price":27.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780674021112.jpg?v=1781710145","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/chinas-new-order-society-politics-and-economy-in-transition-9780674021112","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
