Guthrie (sociology And Management, New York U.) Argues That The Changes In China Have Been More Dramatic Than Outsiders Especially In The Us Realize, That Reforms Have Been Successful Because Of State Involvement, And That Democracy In China Is Inevitable. He Does Not Posit Some Occult Connection Between Capitalism And Democracy, But Explains That The Deliberate Transformation Of Certain Institutions Has Set In Motion A Gradual Process Of Democratization That Leaders Know About But Do Not Advertise.
