Features: "Authoritarian Power and Chinese Society" was first published in 1988, with an initial print run of 20,000 copies that sold out quickly. Due to a mix-up, the book was never reprinted until now. This time, thanks to the reissue by Tianjin Ancient Books Publishing House, I, on behalf of the authors, would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to them! Authoritarian power has dominated Chinese society for over two thousand years, with a far-reaching impact. It has not only formed a system but also shaped a cultural mindset. To break free from this system and mindset is not an overnight task. To do so, we must first confront history and determine the starting point of historical transformation. We often emphasize the need to understand and familiarize ourselves with the national conditions, and history is an essential part of it. We can say without exaggeration that this book is a memorandum on national conditions. Those who wish to understand China's national conditions should definitely read this book!
