Mandate of Heaven: A New Generation of Entrepreneurs, Dissidents, Bohemians, and Technocrats Lays Claim to China's Future

Chronicles China's transformative post-Tiananmen generation.

If you're intrigued by the intersection of politics, economy, and individual stories within the context of modern China, "Mandate of Heaven" is a thought-provoking read. It captures the dramatic shift in China's landscape through the lens of those shaping its future in the aftermath of historical events. Orville Schell offers an insightful look into how China's current ethos was shaped, which could give you a nuanced perspective on the country's global influence today.
