Creating Wealth and Poverty in Postsocialist China Hardback
Edited by Deborah S. Davis, Feng Wang
Part of the Studies in Social Inequality series
Hardback
Description
The Chinese economy's return to commodification and privatization has greatly diversified China's institutional landscape.
With the migration of more than 140 million villagers to cities and rapid urbanization of rural settlements, it is no longer possible to presume that the nation can be divided into strictly urban or rural classifications. Creating Wealth and Poverty in Postsocialist China draws on a wide variety of recent national surveys and detailed case studies to capture the diversity of postsocialist China and identify the contradictory dynamics forging contemporary social stratification.
Focusing on economic inequality, social stratification, power relations, and everyday life chances, the volume provides an overview of postsocialist class order and contributes to current debates over the forces driving global inequalities.
This book will be a must read for those interested in social inequality, stratification, class formation, postsocialist transformations, and China and Asian studies.
