title: The Price of China's Economic Development: Power, Capital, and the Poverty of Rights (Asia in the New Millennium)
author: Zhaohui Hong
description: "This work provides a theoretically sophisticated analysis of major political, social, economic, and cultural trends in China. There are few other scholars as well versed in the Sino-American comparison or as systematic in attempting to work out the socio-cultural similarities and differences between the two societies."Roger des Forges, author of <I>Chinese Walls in Time and Space: A Multidisciplinary Perspective</I><P>"This book offers an insightful and innovative perspective on modern China, and it brings an important current of contemporary Chinese thought to English language literature. The analysis is creative and novel, and the book will certainly be of interest to a broad range of China scholars. The balance of empirical and normative argument is commendable."Barrett McCormick, author of What If China Doesn't Democratize? Implications for War and Peace<P>"This timely work presents a new perspective on China's economic growth and ongoing political problems. It also provides a better understanding of China's institutional transformation and social changes."Xiaobing Li, editor of <I>Modern Chinese Legal Reform: New Perspectives</I>
