Three decades of reform since 1978 in the People's Republic of
China have resulted in the emergence of new social groups which
have included new occupations and professions generated as the
economy has opened up and developed and, most spectacularly given
the legacy of state socialism, the identification of those who are
regarded as wealthy. However, although China's new rich are
certainly a consequence of globalization, there remains a need for
caution in assuming either that China's new rich are a middle
class, or that if they are they should immediately be equated with
a universal middle class. Including sections on class, status and
power, agency and structure and lifestyle The New Rich in China
investigates the political, socio-economic and cultural
characteristics of the emergent new rich in China, the similarities
and differences to similar phenomenon elsewhere and the
consequences of the new rich for China itself. In doing so it links
the importance of China to the world economy and helps us
understand how the growth of China's new rich may influence our
understanding of social change elsewhere. This is a subject that
will become increasingly important as China continues its
development and private entrepreneurship continues to be encouraged
and as such The New Rich in China will be an invaluable volume for
students and scholars of Chinese studies, history and politics and
social change.
