In Wealth into Power, Bruce Dickson challenges the notion that
economic development is leading to political change in China, or
that China's private entrepreneurs are helping to promote
democratization. Instead, they have become partners with the ruling
Chinese Communist Party to promote economic growth while
maintaining the political status quo. Dickson's research
illuminates the Communist Party's strategy for incorporating
China's capitalists into the political system and how the shared
interests, personal ties, and common views of the party and the
private sector are creating a form of 'crony communism'. Rather
than being potential agents of change, China's entrepreneurs may
prove to be a key source of support for the party's agenda. Based
on years of research and original survey data, this book will be of
interest to all those interested in China's political future and in
the relationship between economic wealth and political power.
