About this book
This volume's contributors examine the ways the legacies of socialism continue to shape and inform China's capitalist present, contending that contemporary China is shaped by an overlapping mix of socialist and capitalist institutional strategies, political procedures, legal regulations, religious rituals, and everyday practices.
