Dragon in a Three-Piece Suit: The Emergence of Capitalism in China

Unraveling capitalism's manifestation in contemporary China.

If you're intrigued by the dynamics of economic evolution and the intersection of traditional practices with modern systems, Doug Guthrie's "Dragon in a Three-Piece Suit" paints a vivid picture. It delves into how China’s transition into capitalism blends with longstanding state controls and cultural norms. A must-read for anyone looking to understand the complexities of economic change in a historically command-driven economy.

Description

Dragon in a Three-Piece Suit is an innovative sociological examination of the main engine of economic reform in China - the large industrial firm. Doug Guthrie provides a detailed account of how these firms have been transformed since the mid-1980s, imitating foreign firms in response to international investors and the lack of state support. The book argues for the de-linking of Western trade policy from human rights, emphasizing that economic engagement leads to constructive reform. However, it also warns that reform in China is not a straightforward process of Westernization. Sorry! Book description for this title is not available.
