Opis

"China's Dream is the first book to explore the Communist Party as a cultural, rather than a political, entity. Kerry Brown takes us on a fascinating journey through the least understood aspect of China today - not the economic revolution in the material world, but the deep cultural revolution already underway in Chinese people's daily lives"--

Recenzje

Kerry Brown uncovers the moral mission behind the imposing language of the Communist Party of China, opening the door to understanding just what Xi Jinping and his colleagues think they are doing. It is, indeed, a revival of Maoist politics, but not of the Cultural Revolution variety. It s a brave new world that will be with us for many years and Brown provides a clear and concise guide to it.

Kerry Brown has provided a readable, authoritative guide to understanding how the Communist Party of China is forging a new identity for itself and the country. Eschewing simplistic explanations, he shows how the Party has successfully tapped into a broader search for values and morality, helping to give it more legitimacy––and power––than many observers thought possible just a few years ago. Strongly recommended for anyone interested in the corporate culture of what makes China′s ruling party tick.
