Description

The rapid emergence and explosive growth of China s middle class have enormous consequences for that nation s domestic future, for the global economy, and for the whole world. In China s Emerging Middle Class, noted scholar Cheng Li and a team of experts focus on the sociopolitical ramifications of the birth and growth of the Chinese middle class over the past two decades. The contributors, from diverse disciplines and different regions, examine the development and evolution of China s middle class from a variety of analytical perspectives. What is its educational and occupational makeup? Are its members united by a common identity?—by a shared political vision and worldview? How does the Chinese middle class compare with its counterparts in other countries? The contributors shed light on these and many other issues pertaining to the rapid rise of the middle class in the Middle Kingdom.
