DESCRIPTION
Is China developing a capitalist class that will rise to demand democracy? Based on an original national survey of business owners and extensive field research, Professor Tsai finds little evidence for such popular expectations. Nonetheless, private entrepreneurs have profoundly reshaped China’s political economy through a myriad of adaptive informal institutions.

Today it is common to demur from censuring collaborators with the Axis powers in World War II, citing the impossibility of putting oneself in the untenable position such collaborators then found themselves. Nonetheless contemporary moral philosophy has much to say about the choices men and women face when confronted by complicity with evil. Yi Kwang-su (1892-1950?), Korea's most distinguished modern novelist as well as one of its more notorious pro-Japanese partisans during the colonial period, offers an compelling test case for ways in which we might attempt to not only understand, but judge, his words and deeds in support of Japan's occupation of his country.
