Viewing those below : the marginalised social groups. 330 $aMany studies of the Chinese middle class focus on defining it, and viewing its significance for economic development and its potential for socio-political modernisation. This book goes beyond such objective approaches and considers middle class people's subjective understanding and diverse experiences of class. Based on extensive original research, the book explores who the middle class think they are, what they think about a wide range of socio-economic and socio-political issues, and why they think as they do. The book concludes that a clear class identity and political consciousness have yet to emerge, but that middle class attitudes are best characterised as searching for a balance. 410 0$aRoutledge studies on the Chinese economy ;$v61. 606 $aMiddle class$zChina 606 $aMarginality, Social$zChina 606 $aGroup identity$zChina 606 $aNationalism$zChina 615 0$aMiddle class 615 0$aMarginality, Social 615 0$aGroup identity 615 0$aNationalism 676 $a305.550951 676 $a305.550951 700 $aMiao$b Ying.$0549969 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153190403321 996 $aBeing middle class in China$91944313 997 $aUNINA
