He takes us inside the countrys unprecedented four-decade economic transformationfrom rural villages to industrial metropoles and elite party conclavesthat vaulted the nation from 126th largest economy in the world to second largest. A historian at the pinnacle of his field, Diktter challenges much of what we think we know about how this happened. Casting aside the image of a society marching unwaveringly toward growth, in lockstep to the beat of the party drum, he recounts instead a fascinating tale of contradictions, illusions, and palace intrigue, of disasters narrowly averted, shadow banking, anti-corruption purges, and extreme state wealth existing alongside everyday poverty. He examines Chinas navigation of the 2008 financial crash, its increasing hostility towards perceived Western interference, and its development into a thoroughly entrenched dictatorship with a sprawling security apparatus and the most sophisticated surveillance system in the world. As this magisterial book makes clear, the communist partys goal was never to join the democratic world, but to resist itand ultimately defeat it.</p>...7044811China After Mao399554https://www.gandhi.com.mx/china-after-mao-9781639733705/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7006099/image.jpg?v=638784674633570000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro2023Inglés
