  • Publication Details

    Book, Princeton University Press, 2009
  • Description

    Political conservatives have long believed that the best government is a small government. In this perceptive and eye-opening book, Madrick proves that an engaged government–a big government of high taxes and wise regulations–is necessary for the social and economic answers that Americans desperately need in changing times. The Case for Big Government considers whether the government can adjust its current policies and set the country right. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

  • Description

    By analyzing the shared stories about status and class, jobs and careers, aspirations and hopes that circulate among Harbiners from all walks of life, Hsu reveals the logic underlying the emerging stratification system. Harbiners collectively agreed that “intellectuals” (scientists, educators, and professionals) were the most respected within the new social order, because they contributed the most to Chinese society, whether that contribution was understood in terms of traditional morality, socialist service, or technological and economic progress.
