Authority and Welfare in China : Modern Debates in Historical Perspective, Hardback Book

Authority and Welfare in China : Modern Debates in Historical Perspective Hardback

Part of the Studies on the Chinese Economy series

Hardback

Description

This book describes the relationship between political authoritarianism and people's welfare in modern China.

Based on a study of Chinese political discourse from the 1898 reform period to the present, the book demonstrates that support for authoritarian rule in modern China is best understood when compared to ancient political traditions of authority and welfare that were established in China's late Zhou dynasty by the Confucian philosopher Xunzi (298-238 BC).
