The Deng Xiaoping era : an inquiry into the fate of Chinese socialism, 1978-1994 by Maurice J Meisner( Book )

7 editions published in 1996 in English and held by 695 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

The Deng Xiaoping Era is Meisner's analysis of that crisis and of how Deng Xiaoping's promise of socialist democracy degenerated into bureaucratic capitalism. He shows the ways in which the Deng regime grossly violated the social contract between the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese people, and how capitalism emerged as the dynamic force in today's socioeconomic and cultural life. Now, Meisner argues, after more than a decade of capitalist reforms, the Chinese spiritual malaise is deepening with the brutal suppression of the 1989 Democracy Movement and its politically repressive aftermath. This indispensable study of contemporary Chinese politics - from the 1949 Revolution and the founding of the Maoist state to the establishment of Deng's regime and the social consequences of his reforms - is, as well, a formidable analysis of the failure of the world's greatest socialist experiment

"In this revision, Maurice Meisner again provides insight and comprehensive coverage of China's modern history. In addition to new information provided throughout this study, the new Part Six, "Deng Xiaoping and the Origins of Chinese Capitalism: 1976-1998," analyzes the country's uneasy relationships with democracy, socialism, and capitalism. Meisner incisively displays the contrasts between China's speech and actions regarding these subjects."--Jacket

Mao Zedong : a political and intellectual portrait by Maurice J Meisner( Book )

18 editions published between 2006 and 2019 in 3 languages and held by 364 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Revolutionary and ruler, Marxist and nationalist, liberator and despot, Mao Zedong takes a place among the iconic leaders of the twentieth century. In this book, Maurice Meisner offers a balanced portrait of the man who defined modern China." "From his role as leader of a communist revolution in a war-torn and largely rural country to the disasters of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, the relationship between Mao's ideas and his political action is highly disputed. Meisner shows how Mao's unique "sinification of Marxism" provides the key to looking at this extraordinary political career. The first part of the book is devoted to Mao's revolutionary leadership before 1949, in particular the influence of the liberal and anarchist ideas of the May Fourth era, his discovery of Marxism-Leninism, and his conviction that peasants held the potential for revolution. In the second part, Meisner analyzes Mao's early successes as a nationalist unifier and modernizer, the failure of his socialism, and his eventual transformation into a tyrant."--Jacket
