Zusammenfassung

Observers have been predicting the demise of China’s Communist state since Mao’s death. Yet policymakers have managed the fastest sustained economic expansion in world history. This book shows that many contemporary techniques of governance have their roots in experimental policy generation and implementation dating to the revolution and early PRC.

Maos Invisible Hand by Sebastian Heilmann

As the authors of these essays demonstrate, China's political system allows for more diverse and flexible input than would be predicted from its formal structures.
Mao’s Invisible Hand is one of those books that make one feel good about scholarshipIt describes inner workings of Chinese Communist society about which few nonexperts know anything—it may even surprise the experts—and it will interest anyone professionally interested in China. Its central purpose is to explain how China has escaped the disintegration of other Communist states. -- Jonathan Mirsky * New York Review of Books *
This is one of the most insightful and thought-provoking books published in recent years on the critical questions about China’s developmental path and the role of history. -- Chen Xi * China Beat *
One of the most sophisticated works of this sort. -- Jeffrey Wasserstrom * Miller-McCune.com *
