Sommario/riassunto

This book is a short history of the Chinese crackdown on the country's large technology firms that began in 2020. It discusses the political and economic context, and outlines the limitations on the power of the state. As the policies of 'common prosperity' continue to develop, this book will be an invaluable reference for economists studying either China, the internet and big tech, or both.
