"Au's book represents a healthy dose of good scholarship and
realism in the midst of a sea of celebratory and alarmist books on
China's emergence on the global scene. His thesis that China's
capitalism represents a type of 'bureaucratic capitalism' is both
insightful and intriguing." --solidarity-us.org
"A fascinating analysis of contemporary struggles in China situated
in a rich theoretical overview of Maoism and class relations, as
well as the country's position in the international system. A
powerful and provocative challenge to many misconceptions on the
Left that deserves to be widely read and debated." --Adam Hanieh,
editorial board member, "Historical Materialism" journal
"Au Loong Yu provides the most thorough account of the extent and
nature of the transformation of the Chinese state into
authoritarian capitalism. This book is essential reading for all
those who seek to understand and grasp the dynamics of
Chinese-style capitalism and working class resistance to the
despotic system." --Immanuel Ness, editor, "International
Encyclopedia of Revolution and Protest, 1500 to the Present"
"This collection of essays on China brings a rare and much needed
perspective to the literature on the rising star of the global
economy. Most are authored by Chinese Marxist critics of the
regime. This 'insider' Marxist perspective translates into a
discussion of issues rarely covered in the existing literature,
including a special focus on the workers movement. Very useful."
--Gilbert Achcar, professor, School of Oriental and African Studies
in London
