Riassunto

This groundbreaking book tells the story of China's stunning economic rise over the last half-century. Since initiating economic reforms in the late-1970s, China has transformed into one of the strongest competitors on the world's stage. Far from a rejection of its communist political economy, it was China's communist foundation that allowed the country to transition to a robust state-capitalist economy. Ruskola's engaging and accessible account focuses on the organization of land and labor as the key to understanding China's success, explaining how their commodification has remade not only the Chinese nation-state but global capitalism itself.

Challenging dominant narratives of economic development, this book demonstrates how the evolution of Chinese state capitalism diverges from both England's passage from feudalism to capitalism and the Soviet Union's post-socialist transformations. Highlighting the planetary limits of development, The Unmaking of the Chinese Working Class is an urgent call to rethink our relationship to labor and land, production and nature.
