Sommario/riassunto

Finance and Society in 21st Century China considers how far the modern economy is disconnected from Chinese culture and history and questions the common assumption that China has outgrown its reliance



on its Western counterparts. Junie Tong applies the work of Belgian economist, banker and social commentator Bernard Lietaer in a specifically Chinese context, highlighting the need to root finance and enterprise in the rhythms and forces within Chinese culture to avoid future chaos and achieve socioeconomic stability in a country now so critical to global well being.
