How can capitalists' motivations during a Communist revolution be
reliably documented and fully understood? Up to now, the answer to
this question has generally eluded scholars who, for lack of
nonofficial sources, have fallen back on Communist governments'
official explanations. But the essays in this volume confirm that,
at least in the case of the Communist revolution in China, it is
finally possible to make new and fresh interpretations. By focusing
closely on individuals and probing deeply into their thinking and
experience, the authors of these essays have discovered a wide
range of reasons for why Chinese capitalists did or did not choose
to live and work under communism. The contributors to this volume
have all concentrated on the dilemma for capitalists in China's
Communist revolution. But their approach to their subject through
archival research and rigorous analysis may also serve as a guide
for future thinking about a variety of other historical figures.
This approach is well worth adopting to explain how any members of
society (not only capitalists) have resolved comparable dilemmas in
all revolutions-the ones in China, Russia, Vietnam, Cuba, or
anywhere else.
