Over recent decades China has experienced massive change and
development. China is the world's fastest growing economy, and has
become a global superpower once again. But this development has
thrown up a number of seemingly intractable contradictions, both
political and economic. In this panoramic study of Chinese history
in the twentieth century and its place in the development of global
capitalism, Lin Chun argues that the paradoxes of contemporary
Chinese society are not simply the product of the development of
capitalism or modernity in the country. They are instead the
product of the contradictions of its long revolutionary history, as
well as the social and political consequences of its post-socialist
transition. Published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the
founding of the Chinese Communist Party, Revolution and
Counterrevolution in China charts China's epic revolutionary
trajectory in search of a socialist alternative to the global
system, and asks whether market reform must repudiate and overturn
the revolution and its legacy.
