Description: "This book is a sociological study of the way in which economic reforms, started in the late 1970s, have affected people's life in China. The book is based on the author's recent research projects conducted in mainland China. An important feature of the book is that it is not only based on qualitative analysis but also on quantitative data, the integration of which enhances the reader's understanding of current social and political developments in post-Mao China.

In particular, the book aims to provide both a context and a sociological framework for analysis of the dynamic and interactive processes between economic, social and political fronts."--BOOK JACKET.
