Based originally on articles that appeared in Hong Kong's revolutionary socialist magazine October Review, this collection of intriguing essays question whether totalitarianism and bureaucratic mismanagement are the inevitable results of any attempt to create a socialist soicety as envisioned by Marx and Engels. The writers show that Deng Xiaoping's reforms guided China toward a restored capitalism while maintaining the Chinese Communist Party's harsh dictatorship.
