Recenzje

'Qi's excellent book provides a much-needed update of the experiences, strategies, and relationship practices (guanxi) of small-scale entrepreneurs in China given technological changes, shifts in familism, the reworking of gender norms, and old and new sources of crises of capitalism. The lucid writing and rich stories will appeal to both researchers and undergraduates.' Rachel Murphy, Professor of Chinese Development and Society, University of Oxford
