Description
This book covers the whole system of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, dealing with Deng Xiaopingโs theory, the socialist market economy, a moderately well-off (Xiaokang) society, Chinaโs practice and theory of socialist democracy, human rights, and Xi Jinpingโs Marxism. In short, the resolute focus is the Reform and Opening-Up.
Socialism with Chinese Characteristics is one of the most important global realities today. However, the concept and its practice remain largely misunderstood outside China. This book sets to redress such a lack of knowledge, by making available to non-Chinese speakers the sophisticated debates and conclusions in China concerning socialism with Chinese Characteristics. It presents this material in a way that is both accessible and thorough.

โTruthful to its title, the book is a guide to Chinese socialism, both comprehensive and incisive โฆ most importantly, as a framework and guide for social practice. โฆ For those who wonder whether China is still socialist or suspect that Chinese Communist Party abandoned Marxism, the book provides a lot of material on which to base their answers. In fact, anyone who wants to engage seriously and extensively with โsocialism with Chinese characteristicsโ should read the book.โ โTamara Prosic, socialistchina.org, June 20, 202
