Arrighi - Adam Smith in Beijing

Adam Smith in Beijing   - Lineages of the Twenty-First Century by  Giovanni Arrighi

Arrighi shows how China´s extraordinary rise invites us to read The Wealth of Nations (A.Smith) in a radically different way than is usually done. In the 21st centrury China may well become again the kind of non-capitalist market economy that Smith described in the 17hundreds.
