  • "For almost two decades after Mao Zedong's death, a contest was waged in China between orthodox Marxists and reformers. With Deng Xiaoping's strong support, the reformers ultimately won; but they--and China--paid a heavy price. Here, Richard Baum provides a guide to the intricate theater of post-Mao Chinese politics. He tells the story of an escalating intergenerational clash of ideas and values between the aging revolutionaries of the Maoist era and their younger, more pragmatic successors. --From publisher's description."
  • "As a result of Deng Xiaoping's reform initiatives, the austere and colorless collectivism of the Maoist era was supplanted by an upscale entrepreneurial ethos labeled "socialism with Chinese characteristics." For some Chinese this meant new and unprecedented opportunities for upward mobility; for others it meant rising personal vulnerability and marginalization. Today, a scant two decades after Mao's death, few traces of the Chairman's essential zeitgeist remain. Maoism, the spartan, puritanical credo fashioned by a small band of dedicated revolutionaries in the 1930s and 1940s, is moribund. - Preface."
