This volume investigates the multifaceted drivers of social and economic inequality in contemporary China, questioning how political power and cultural narratives sustain these disparities. Edited by Wanning Sun and Yingjie Guo, the book assembles a collection of scholarly essays that examine the intersection of state policy, market transition, and social stratification. The contributors argue that inequality in China is not merely an economic byproduct but a deeply institutionalized phenomenon shaped by political control and cultural framing.
What You Will Find
Experts identify this collection as a comprehensive resource for understanding the structural complexities of modern Chinese society.
