Critical review examines China's historical socialist transformation through political economy, indicating ongoing progress toward a modern socialist future.
This review article examines Ken Hammond’s China’s Revolution and the Quest for a Socialist Future , which offers a historical interpretation of China’s 1949 revolution and its subsequent socialist transformation through a political economy lens. The book argues that the Chinese revolutionary project represents a historically progressive process that continues to shape China’s contemporary development, as reflected in its ongoing socialist achievements. Ultimately, Hammond contends that this trajectory remains oriented toward the long-term realization of a modern socialist future.
