Parish Paperback, 415 Pages, Published 1985 by University Of Chicago Press ISBN-13: 978-0-226-89549-9, ISBN: 0-226-89549-1 "Through interviews with city residents, Martin King Whyte and William L.

At the same time, however, they find that this successful effort sp ..." |

Yet, while the reforms made possible a rising standard of living for the majority of China's population, they came at the cost of a weakening central government, increasing inequalities ..." |
