Chapter Chapter 4 in The Political Economy of Reforms and the Remaking of the Proletarian Class in China, 1980s–2010s, 2023, pp 111-159 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses impact of SOE reforms on workers’ status which has changed ownership of economic capital and rights, which in turn has caused workers to return to a proletarian position. Daily tensions between managers (now the persona of state capitalism) and workers are resulted in, reflecting the ending of the communist fantasy associated with Maoism. Such a change forces us to redefine the working class in post-Mao China in accordance with what authentic Marx’s class theory suggests.
