The state-directed opening of the Chinese economy in 1979 led to a number of radical transformations within Chinese society, but Western understanding of these changes is often limited by erroneous assumptions. Offering a clear picture of the vast economic and social forces of modern-day China, Professor Robert J. Shepherd addresses U.S. investment in China, China's startling economic growth, state vs. society issues in the vast republic, and the effect of social and cultural change on the Chinese people.

      Since 1979, China has undergone a remarkable series of fundamental changes while at the same time remaining a one-party state. After a look at China's history, Professor Shepherd covers contemporary topics such as jobs, family, religion, the environment, and intellectual property. China has tried mightily to avoid the chaos that attended the collapse of the Soviet Union. In addition to the lectures, a helpful printed course guide offers lists of recommended readings and summary observations. The widely traveled Shepherd speaks with a friendly American voice that makes one imagine talking with him in his office. It's a one-man show--and a good one. D.R.W.
