Routledge Confucian Capitalism - Chinese Enterprise Study

Explore the complex reality behind one of the most influential economic narratives in modern history. Confucian Capitalism has long been used to explain the economic success of the Chinese diaspora worldwide. This discourse often attributes wealth and commercial talent to specific values such as hard work, family values, and communal cohesion. It suggests that business practices are driven by sentiment, trust, and social networks. This book by Routledge provides a deep examination of Chinese business by exposing the myths surrounding these widely held beliefs. It looks closely at the claims that Confucianism is the primary driver of these specific economic practices and values. For students, researchers, and professionals interested in business and economic history, this work offers a necessary look at the relationship between cultural discourse and actual commercial practice in the Chinese world.
