In Wealth into Power, Bruce Dickson challenges the notion that economic development is leading to political change in China, or that China s private entrepreneurs are helping to promote democratization. Instead, they have become partners with the ruling Chinese Communist Party to promote economic growth while maintaining the political status quo. Dickson s research illuminates the Communist Party s strategy for incorporating China s capitalists into the political system and how the shared interests, personal ties, and common views of the party and the private sector are creating a form of crony communism. Rather than being potential agents of change, China s entrepreneurs may prove to be a key source of support for the party s agenda. Based on years of research and original survey data, this book will be of interest to all those interested in China s political future and in the relationship between economic wealth and political power.
