Ho-fung Hung is Henry M. and Elizabeth P. Wiesenfeld Associate Professor in Political Economy at Johns Hopkins University. He is the author of the award-winning book Protest with Chinese Characteristics: Demonstrations, Riots, and Petitions in the Mid-Qing Dynasty (Columbia, 2011).
This is a very readable and informative manuscript that will be interesting to a wide readership. The great strength of this manuscript is that it shows on many different fronts that the notion of China's rising dominance may be unrealistic, or at least premature. -- Victor Shih, University of California, San Diego Timely and important. Ho-fung Hung's acessible and clear-eyed assessment of China's prospects, rooted both in the longer patterns of China's own history and in global economics, reaches unexpected and reassuring conclusions. A stimulating intellectual journey led by a calm and judicious guide. -- Robert A. Kapp, former President of the U.S.-China Business Council Ho-Fung Hung's important and stimulating book places China's recent economic reforms and development trajectory firmly within its proper historical context, thereby releasing it from triumphalist or defeatist narratives that begin in 1949 or 1978. The China of the past four decades, Hung shows us, is the same China that has wrestled with modernization since the early Qing Dynasty, and has faced the same problems many times before. -- Michael Pettis, Peking University
