Description
This comprehensive study examines how three decades of economic reforms have transformed China from one of the world's most egalitarian societies into one of the most unequal. Despite dramatic improvements in living standards across many regions of the People's Republic, the reforms have created profound disparities that challenge the narrative of uniform development. The book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of inequality in China, drawing on multiple academic perspectives to explore both the political economy driving these inequalities and the cultural politics surrounding them. Essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the complex social consequences of rapid economic transformation in contemporary China and its implications for global development models.
