Marlene Caroselli Manufacturer: HRD Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0874253527 |

Rich Girl in the Mirror
When does a dream bescome a nightmare? Find out in Mirror Image as a teenage girl is given a glittering meteorite, places it under her pillow, and awakens to discover that her greatest wish has come true...
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the richest girl of all?
Motherless Marilee Ellis lives with her father in a rented rundown trailer hidden on the Estes family's estate. She's fifteen, and she knows exactly what she wants. To be rich. Fabulously rich. Rich enough that Adam, her hunky best friend, will really love her. Rich enough to get even with the princesses who treat her like trash. Then her grandmother gives her a heart-shaped meteorite and overnight her life turns inside out.
It starts with an unwanted gift -- a lottery ticket -- and ends when Marilee becomes the richest girl in town. Suddenly she can buy everything she ever wanted. Suddenly everyone wants to be her friend. Suddenly Adam is no longer her friend. She thought it was all about money. But she's about to learn the hardest lesson of her life....

Globalism: The New Market Ideology
Manfred B. Steger Manufacturer: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0742500721 |
Book Description
Globalism: The New Market Ideology rejects the notion that we find ourselves at the end of ideology and that democracy has won. Instead, Steger argues that the opening decade of the 21st century will constitute a teeming battlefield of clashing ideologies. The chief protagonist is the dominant neoliberal market ideology Steger calls globalism. After identifying and evaluating the five central claims of globalism--including assertions that globalization is inevitable, nobody is in charge of globalization, and globalization benefits everyone--Steger offers an overview of the counterclaims made by anti-globalist forces.

China and Globalization: The Social, Economic and Political Transformation of Chinese Society (Globalizing Regions)
Doug Guthrie Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0415949912 |
Book Description
China and Globalization is a compact, highly readable introductory text on contemporary China and the massive changes it is presently undergoing. It focuses primarily on how economic structural change is driving the processes, but discusses many other issues as well--politics, social change, reform, international economics, and cultural change. In its quarter-century long shift from communism to capitalism, China has transformed from a desperately poor nation into a country possessing one of the fastest-growing and largest economies in the world. Doug Guthrie covers the social, economic, and political factors responsible for the revolutionary changes, and interweaves this broader structural analysis with a consideration of social changes at the micro and macro levels. The book also considers the potential for further change. Will China become more democratic? Will the government become more serious about protecting human rights and creating a transparent legal system? How will China's explosive growth impact both East Asia and the larger global economy? In sum, this will be a sophisticated, definitive yet compact overview of the effects of massive social, economic, and political reforms on the most populous nation in the world.
Books in this series look at how nations and regions across the world are navigating the tumultuous currents of globalization. Concise, descriptive, interdisciplinary, and theoretically informed, they serve as ideal introductions to the peoples and places of our increasingly globalized world.

The best book written on modern China's rural development.......2002-10-19
The first 90 pages of this 250 page book are about the Mao era. There are essays on the state's power at the village level, the rural class structure, ideology and work incentives, and the Cultural Revolution. One point that hasn't been made by many others is that the peasants were not opposed to collective farming per se, what they resented was the lack of economic freedom given the collectives. The state's sometimes irrational restrictions on what the village collectives could do (what to plant, how to plant it, how to divide income among villagers, how to market the output), and the unfairly low prices paid for the village's output all contributed to rising disillusionment with the Maoist rural development model.
The rest of the book is about the reform era. First is an article on the early 1980s decollectivization. Unger's interviews undermine the "voting with feet" explanation offered by the regime and accepted uncritically by most western observers. Decollectivization was mostly a top-down, non-spontaneous, involuntary affair. This is not to say it wasn't welcomed, just that farmers had little to do with it. Most villages seem to have preferred the new decentralized family managed co-op system, yet a minority of villages that preferred to keep the collective farms crumbled under fierce state pressure.
A couple of essays are about the emerging private sector in rural China, including migrant labor, and he assesses the entrepreneurial activities of local governments.
A particularly important essay is the one on poverty in the hinterlands, regions that have gotten much less attention than the dynamic SE coast. Unger shows that a lot of the alleged poverty reduction from the late 1980s into the 1990s was the result of invalid statistics. The government's anti-poverty efforts for these regions in the 1990s have been sincere, but not terribly effective. The crisis in health care and schooling access in these areas is particularly acute, something that wasn't nearly so big a problem in the pre-reform and early reform eras.
One of the observations many western observers might find surprising is that the government--following the advice of western and Chinese economists--has been trying for several years at least, to force the peasants to privatize land. During the 1980s and most of the 1990s, villages periodically redistributed land to maintain equal per capita land distribution in the face of changing household sizes. This arrangement is quite popular, the evidence shows, for it ensures farmers can never lose their land and can have enough food when their household gains members. Yet the government is persistent in applying pressure to forward its forced privatization policy. This will no doubt be cheered by western politicians, the same ones who claim to support "democracy" in China.
