Reconciling State, Market and Society in China The Long March Toward Prosperity

'The research question this book raises is highly relevant in today's context, at a time when the Hu-Wen era has ended and the task of achieving a harmonious society seems to be getting more and more challenging for the Chinese leadership. In particular, the author highlights the issues of rising social inequalities and the legal aspects of reform in post-Mao China. These issues hold immense significance in today's China, where questions related to governance and social management have become the most important challenge facing the Chinese leadership.' - G. Venkat Raman; JOURNAL OF CHINESE POLITICAL SCIENCE (2013)
