Description: Red Capitalism in South China is the best account to date of change in the Pearl River Delta. It examines a phenomenon that is important not only because of the speed, extent, and magnitude of the changes taking place but also because the delta's patterns of growth and development are distinct from those of the Western capitalist world and the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. In addition, Lin offers significant insights into how a regional socialist economy is transformed after the intrusion of global market forces. This book will be of immense value to those interested in the regional and economic development to the Pearl River Delta or in China in general.
