Poverty and Pacification

The Chinese State Abandons the Old Working Class

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This groundbreaking book explores China's Minimum Livelihood Guarantee program, which was extended in the hopes of quieting the protests of millions of laid-off workers. Solinger replays the duet that unfolded between the state and the ranks of the proletariat and documents the progressively more silent drama as workers have struggled to survive.
