 THE CRAZY WAR ON DRUGS - Reviews
William Hinton has been arguably the greatest single commentator on post-revolutionary China.
This is not because he analyses the comings and goings at the top of the Beijing gerontocracy with more acuity than other observers but because he sees China’s rulers and their policies as most ordinary Chinese people do: from the vantage-point of a small farming community far from the capital.
William Hinton has nothing but scorn for that point of view and his analysis of why China cannot take the capitalist road is both penetrating and convincing.
