Book Synopsis
Looking at the history of communist China as a history of consciousness, this book makes an innovative departure from previous studies. It charts a journey that led from utopianism to nihilism and then to the hedonism and consumerism that pervade China today.

Trade Review
"Chinese thinkers and western sinologists alike document the corruption and depravity of post-Mao China and survey the cataclysmic events of recent history which brought about that crisis. Ci Jiwei, however, probes its spiritual dimension, and he does it masterfully. . . . He has produced a work of profound philosophical reflection and great analytical sophistication." -- Canadian Journal of History
