Poverty and Pacification - The Chinese State Abandons the Old Working Class

This groundbreaking book explores China's Minimum Livelihood Guarantee program, which was extended in the hopes of quieting the protests of millions of laid-off workers. Solinger replays the duet that unfolded between the state and the ranks of the proletariat and documents the progressively more silent drama as workers have struggled to survive.
