This is an authored volume of Dr. Yao's 'big-picture' writings on China and the West, translated by David Ownby. Those writings are selected from his writings as a public intellectual, reflecting his thought on China's path of modernization and the effort to rebuild a political philosophy based on Confucianism, his interpretation of China's political system and his prescriptions to improve it. A moderate, yet influential scholar, Yao's work has had great influence on Chinese social and economic policymakers; his project of renewing China's traditional value system is an important position, as Chinese reforms begin to focus on equity and inclusion. In an engaging, at times personal, and thoughtful volume, Dr. Yao's vision of a gentler Chinese society will interest Sinologists, political scientists, and journalists.
Yang Yao is a Professor and Dean at Peking University's National School of Development in China. David Ownby is a Chinese scholar at Montreal University's Department of History and Center for East Asian Studies.
