Description

This book explores the new economic face of China and what its emerging capitalism means for the country's citizens. Philippe Massonnet, writing in fast-paced, gripping prose, tells the story of four different Chinese citizens. Their daily adventures whirl us into the eddies of a society where everything is changing and where the pursuit of political freedom has been superseded by the desire to get rich quick.
