Description

Red Inc. takes issue with the view that economic development will eventually promote democracy. It outlines in detail the enormous social costs of the rapid rise of China's economy. Although many observers argue that Deng Xiaoping introduced capitalism to China in the late 1970s, Schaeffer believes that capitalist development really began during the 1950s under Mao Zedong. But although Mao made relentless efforts to generate the capital needed to finance economic development, his regime failed to promote any real growth. Schaeffer shows that the remarkable rise of its economy in recent years has provided China with new and often corrupt sources of wealth and power that have enabled it to resist democracy. He brings into sharp focus the consequence of the regime's uncompromising approach to capital accumulation. Review “I grew up thinking of China as an archetypical Communist country―a country that unlike the Soviet Union didn’t take the ‘capitalist road.’ In a brilliant new book, Robert Schaeffer reconceptualizes the history of modern China and of China’s economic development since the revolution. To Schaeffer, China was always capitalist, but of a kind that disguised, and was meant to justify, the brutal process of capital accumulation necessary to create an industrial China. What distinguished ‘Communist’ China’s first thirty years from its last was that recently, it has succeeded, and has built a major capitalist economy. Yet, as Schaeffer shows, its success has been at the expense of its own citizenry, and to some extent that of other countries. I highly recommend this book.” ―John B. Judis, Senior Editor, The New Republic, and author of The Folly of Empire About the Author Robert Schaeffer is Professor of Sociology at Kansas State University, author of Understanding Globalization, and coauthor of Fast Forward.
