This book examines Chinese political economy spanning from 1800 to to the dawn of the 21st century, shedding new light on our understanding of the reasons and impact of socio-political and socio-economic changes in China. Crossing over the three disciplines of history, politics and economics, the analyses Chinas ideology, politics, and the economy using state-building as the key theme and puts the emphasis on Chinas internal factors and mechanisms instead of the influence from Western imperialism or Japanese colonialism. It pays close attention to the movers and shakers inside Chinese society and carefully reveals historical contingencies which lend the reader a unique and radically different re-interpretation of Chinas recent history.
This book makes an important contribution to the study of changes in Chinas institutions and their impact on the national economy as well as ordinary peoples daily material life from 1800 to 2000. Kent Deng reveals Chinas mega-cycle of prosperity-poverty-prosperity without the usual attribution to the 1840 Opium War, or the alleged population pressure, class struggle and oriental despotism. The book challenges the conventional view on rebellions, revolutions and their alleged motivations and outcomes. Its findings separate commonly circulated myth with reality based on solid evidence and careful evaluation. The benchmark used by the author is peoples entitlement and mundane day-to-day material well being, instead of the stereotype of aggregates of industrial hardware and national GDP.
Chinas Political economy in Modern Times proves that state-building was the prime mover in Chinas modern history. Contrary to the popular belief in mass movement, Deng shows convincingly that changes were in most cases imposed by a minority with external help. Therefore, the quality of the state was unpredictable, seen from the anti-state that cost lives and economic growth.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese Politics, Chinese Economics, Chinese History, and Political Economy.
