China's Gilded Age - Yuen Yuen Ang

China's Gilded Age: The Paradox of Economic Boom and Vast Corruption — Yuen Yuen Ang

China’s Gilded Age examines how China has achieved rapid economic growth despite widespread corruption. Yuen Yuen Ang unpacks corruption into four types—petty theft, grand theft, speed money, and access money—and shows how the last type, exchanges between elites, can actually stimulate investment and growth while creating risks for the political and economic system. Using rich data and a comparative-historical lens, Ang explains how corruption has evolved in China and how Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign could reshape the future.
