Crime and the Chinese Dream reveals how people on the margins of Chinese society find their way to the Chinese Dream through illegal or deviant behaviors. The case studies in this book include corrupt doctors in public hospitals in Beijing, fraudsters in a village called "cake uncles," illegal motorcycle taxi drivers in Guangzhou, drug users being "reeducated" in detention centers, and internet addicts who are treated as criminals by the system. Despite the patriotic and collectivistic tint of the official dream metaphor, the contributors to this volume show that the Chinese Dream is essentially a state capitalist dream, which is embedded within the problems and opportunities of capitalism, as well as a dream of control.CrimeChinaSociological aspectsCrimeSociological aspectsChinaSocial conditions2000-CrimeSociological aspects.CrimeSociological aspects.364.951Bakken BørgeMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794921903321Crime and the Chinese dream3806267UNINA04845nam 22006735 450 991083100550332120240702115457.09783031481697303148169010.1007/978-3-031-48169-7(MiAaPQ)EBC31106866(Au-PeEL)EBL31106866(MiAaPQ)EBC31132631(Au-PeEL)EBL31132631(OCoLC)1420629748(DE-He213)978-3-031-48169-7(CKB)30316541900041(EXLCZ)993031654190004120240203d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierProfessional Investment Portfolio Management Boosting Performance with Machine-Made Portfolios and Stock Market Evidence /by James W.
