PTO Extra! Why China is capitalist w/ Eli Friedman
Added 2023-04-11 06:00:02 +0000 UTCIn this sneak preview of the forthcoming China series Eli Friedman talks about how to make sense of China's political and economic system, and why in Eli's view it makes sense to describe China as capitalist and not as a socialist market economy - as the Chinese Communist Party describes the system - nor as some other hybrid model that retains both socialist and capitalist features. We also talked about how to periodise Chinese history and whether or not China was ever a socialist society. Finally, we talked about Xi Jinping's Common Prosperity agenda and whether this might signify a return to the Party's socialist inheritance.
