Although it is a text written before the pandemic, which naturally does not include the considerations and analysis that had that global health and economic crisis, especially in the role of China in the world, this text presents in depth key concepts to understand contemporary China, what is the goal of its rejuvenation, how its development model explains the gradual and incremental construction of common prosperity. Equally interesting is the vision of China's third centennial goal, a concept that was diluted in the post-pandemic years of Chinese analysis. The third centennial goal will be that of Deng Xiaoping's reform and opening-up policy, which was to happen in 2078 with China as a large and highly developed socialist country.
It is also useful to explain the stages of socialism and understand that China is still in the second part of the primary stage, with conditions to enter the intermediate stage. The statistics and data give us a clear idea of why China, being a powerful industrial economy, a world-class trading act and a technological leader, is still among the developing countries and why the material conditions to be a great global comprehensive power are still far away and China needs to work on it from the concept of common prosperity.
Highly recommended for academicians, economists, politicians and political philosophers.
