书籍简介：

Many thought China's rise would fundamentally remake the global order. Yet, much like other developing nations, the Chinese state now finds itself in a status quo characterized by free trade and American domination. Through a cutting-edge historical, sociological, and political analysis, Ho-fung Hung details the competing interests and economic realities that temper the dream of Chinese supremacy–forces that are stymieing growth throughout the global South. Hung focuses on four common misconceptions: that China could undermine orthodoxy by offering an alternative model of growth; that China is radically altering power relations between the East and the West; that China is capable of diminishing the global power of the United States; and that the Chinese economy would restore the world's wealth after the 2008 financial crisis. His work reveals how much China depends on the existing order and how the interests of the Chinese elites maintain these ties. Through its perpetuation of the dollar standard and its addiction to U.S. Treasury bonds, China remains bound to the terms of its own prosperity, and its economic practices of exploiting debt bubbles are destined to fail. Hung ultimately warns of a postmiracle China that will grow increasingly assertive in attitude while remaining constrained in capability.

书友短评：

@ K-D-637 前半部分以H老师自己擅长的比较历史方法分析清朝-现在经济发展的路径（1650- 内容面对西方观众比较全面、有用。书中有几个新鲜的观点：1) 毛的时代积累初始资本、培养大量乡村劳工是邓改开的必要条件。2)中国经济增长一半助力非洲、拉美第三世界国家出口、消费、面对欧美的经济主权，一半让它们落入中国的资源开采。3)中国国内消费低靡，低产出过度投资，过度生产，加速出口，增加购买美国债券的恶性循环巩固美元霸权，刺激美国房地产和金融投资和泡沫，沉淀08年房债危机。4)增加国内家庭可支配收入和消费、社会福利、政治和经济自由化是解决国内经济和全球资本出入和贸易不平衡的必要方法。 @ 鸿蒙太空 前半部分以H老师自己擅长的比较历史方法分析清朝-现在经济发展的路径（1650- 大概是第一本政经专著。作者主要质疑了两个流行的观点：1. 前三十年和后三十年截然对立；2. 赛里斯将会/能够颠覆美国为中心的新自由主义秩序。作者根据「资本原始积累的进程」来给塞里斯历史分期：明清有发达的商品经济但没有资本积累，鸦片战争后塞里斯开始尝试发动国家机器从农村剥削剩余价值，但这个任务实际上直到前三十年才真正完成，而后四十年则是利用前三十年的遗产，搭上新自由主义浪潮的顺风车。说到底，「一国shzy」甚至称不上「必然破产/蜕变」，而是从一开始就是资本主义世界体系的一部分。 @ 廖芜 前半对历史的耙梳明显好于后半略微吹水的臆断 @ 水草狗 观点概括洗练全面，但意外地没有太多意外的观点。对清朝前期资本主义生成失败的解释意外地采用了elite formation的框架，但讲得不是很清楚。
