Excellent- More about Politics of Economic Inequality in China: Unbalanced Responsiveness
This book explores the relationship between authoritarian regimes and their citizens in China by examining the unbalanced responsiveness of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to economic inequality. It argues that while CCP propaganda claims to reduce inequality, its welfare programs are stratified, unfair, and regressive, leading to further dissatisfaction and demands for redistribution. The study demonstrates how unmitigated and prolonged economic inequality could threaten the CCP regime's rule.

This book delves into a novel theory of 'unbalanced responsiveness' to explore the complex relationship between authoritarian regimes and their citizens in China. It sheds light on how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has responded to growing dissatisfaction over economic inequality, employing both propaganda and policy measures. The study highlights the inherent imbalance in the CCP's response, as propaganda claims to reduce inequality while welfare programs are stratified, unfair, and regressive, exacerbating rather than alleviating existing inequalities. Through a comprehensive analysis of data from multiple national surveys, the book reveals the disconnect between propaganda and policy, leading to further dissatisfaction and strong demands for redistribution among the Chinese population. The findings of this research underscore the potential threat that unmitigated and prolonged economic inequality poses to the stability and continued rule of the CCP regime.
By presenting a fresh theory that applies to authoritarian and particularly communist regimes, this book offers valuable insights into the dynamics of power and governance in China. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of Chinese studies, political science, and public policy, providing a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and complexities faced by authoritarian regimes in addressing economic inequality.
