Product Description
Mao and his policies have long been demonized in the West, with the Cultural Revolution considered a fundamental violation of human rights.
As China embraces capitalism, the Mao era is being denigrated by the Chinese political and intellectual elite. This book tackles the extremely negative depiction of China under Mao in recent publications and argues that most people in China, including the rural poor and the urban working class, actually benefited from Mao's policies. Under Mao there was a comprehensive welfare system for the urban poor and basic health and education provision in rural areas. These policies are being reversed in the current rush towards capitalism.
Offering a critical analysis of mainstream accounts of the Mao era and the Cultural Revolution, this book sets the record straight, making a convincing argument for the positive effects of Mao's policies on the well-being of the Chinese people.
跟高的另一本书相比,评价差好多。。。没觉得是洗地啊。。虽然有些地方的evidence显得有点naive(比如引用孔庆东说牛棚是很舒服的。。。像上大学一样。。。会不会太荒谬?)但是感受到了浓浓的战斗性倒是真的。作者的writing是我喜欢的风格,简单,易读,清晰明了,有些地方论述稍显随意

评分作者对张戎的毛传和毛医生李某的回忆录颇不以为然。说,张书全无学术,李书则是蓝登书屋JUICE UP的结果,均非信史。
