(H/B) MAONOMICS

Παρουσίαση

In Maonomics: Why Chinese Communists Make Better Capitalists than We Do, bestselling author and economist Loretta Napoleoni probes the Chinese economic miracle to find whether, behind it, there is a uniquely Chinese vision of democracy, one that might inspire Westerners. Highlighting China's focus on economic opportunity and the fair distribution of wealth and prosperity rather than the Western emphasis on voting, Napoleoni asks provocative questions such as: Is China realizing Marx's goal of an egalitarian society that uses profit to benefit its people?
The end of the Cold War was thought to signal the triumph of Western capitalism over communism. In Maonomics, Napoleoni shines a light on the peaceful economic revolution that is shifting the balance of power in the world from West to East. (From the publisher)
