Guy Sorman gives a human face to brutal oppression in today's China. He introduces us to the daily suffering of many individual human lives: students thrown into exile for signing their names to political leaflets, pregnant women beaten for being pregnant without the authorization of the state, peasant families enduring the long, slow sufferings of AIDS brought to them by unsanitary blood transfusions in public clinics. Sorman has long been a promoter of a realistic form of democracy in China and of a "barefoot capitalism" that would begin to diminish the huge number of those who suffer. -- Michael Novak

From the Back Cover:   In political philosophy, a whole generation of French thinkers like Revel, Jean-Marie Benoit, and Guy Sorman are rejecting the old clich&#233;s about state power and rediscovering the danger such power poses to personal freedom. -Ronald Reagan

»Der schlanke Band ist perspektivenreich und öffnet den Blick auf eine Reihe von Autoren, die man kennt und mit denen man gerechnet hätte, aber es sind auch solche dabei, die den einen oder anderen Leser überraschen werden. Und so kann der Band das weitere Nachdenken über Freiheit und Kultur anstoßen, die im 21. Jahrhundert wieder allerlei neuen Gefahren ausgesetzt sind.«
