A fascinating look at China's 40-year project to remake its working class.
This groundbreaking book tells the story of China’s incredible rise to the status of global economic superpower through the lens of labor and land. Despite the country’s impressive growth on the world stage, China continues to face considerable challenges at home as it struggles to develop a robust domestic population of consumers. Drawing inspiration from EP Thompson’s classic study of England’s transition to capitalism, Teemu Ruskola uses comparative analysis between China and Great Britain to explain how China has made and re-made its working class over the last fifty years. Engaging and accessible, this book is required reading for anyone who wants to better understand the political economy of one of the world’s leading economic powers.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This groundbreaking book tells the story of Chinas economic rise from the establishment of the Peoples Republic to the present. Since the reforms in the late 1970s, China has grown at an extraordinary rate. This transformation did not signify the states retreat from the economy. Indeed, it was Chinas communist foundation that enabled this astounding development. Yet at the same time, those reforms saw China give up on the idea of equality, unmaking a working class that the revolution had forged. Teemu Ruskolas engaging and accessible account focuses on the organization of land and labor as the key to understanding Chinas rise, explaining how their commodification has remade not only the Chinese nation-state but global capitalism itself.Challenging dominant narratives of economic development, this book demonstrates how the evolution of Chinese state capitalism diverges from both Englands passage from feudalism to capitalism and the Soviet Unions post-socialist transformations. Highlighting the planetary limits of development, The Unmaking of the Chinese Working Class is an urgent call to rethink our relationship to labor and land, production and nature. An unrivalled account of Chinas transition from a poor agrarian economy to a global economic powerhouse Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
