Minqi Li, Dr

"Minqi Li has accomplished something different and very important. He has placed the 'rise of China' from the Mao era to today in the context of the history of the entire world-system. He makes a persuasive case that the very success of capitalist methods in China has so overloaded the capacities for accumulation of the world-system as a whole that this rise has become a major factor in the coming demise of the world capitalist system. This is a book which explains much that seems a puzzle and challenges the received opinion of many analysts. It should be read by all concerned persons." -------- Immanuel Wallerstein
