ABSTRACT
The purpose of this volume as laid out in Chapters 1 and 2 is to apply the capitalist lens to China’s emergent political economy and thereby create a comparatively accurate understanding of China’s international ascent. Chapters 3 through 5 focused on how Chinese business institutions are transforming China into one of the most formidable capitalist competitors of our era. This chapter will undertake a more expansive analysis. It will map the unique institutional arrangements permeating China’s budding capitalism. The focus will rest particularly on how state and capital institutionally interact and shape China’s political economy.
