On Social Interests and Conflict: A Socialist Analysis of Contemporary China

This book examines social interests and conflict, using the basic principles of Marx as a foundation for the study. In looking at conflict, the book incorporates sociology, ethics, and other disciplines. Social Interests and conflict are examined through the prism of contemporary Chinese socialist construction. It argues that understanding the real problems of conflict in modern China is enhanced by using a Marxist perspective. The book has three main themes in understanding this subject - history, theory, and reality - providing an appreciation of the deeply rooted, historical origins of the rise of China, along with the benefits and challenges of change.
