The Dragon's Struggle - Internal Challenges and the Rise of China

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In a world grappling with uncertainty and change, China's rise has sparked both awe and apprehension. This book delves into the heart of China's internal contradictions and global aspirations, offering a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities that shape its destiny.

China's remarkable economic growth has lifted millions out of poverty, yet stark disparities persist. Regional imbalances, urban-rural divides, and income inequality pose significant threats to social stability and sustainable development. The book explores these challenges and examines China's efforts to address them, highlighting both successes and ongoing struggles.

Beyond its economic transformation, China faces daunting environmental issues. Air and water pollution, deforestation, and climate change threaten the health of its people and the planet. The book assesses China's environmental policies and initiatives, scrutinizing their effectiveness and the challenges that remain.

China's aging population and changing demographics present another set of hurdles. The shrinking workforce and increasing elderly population strain social welfare systems and economic growth prospects. The book analyzes these demographic shifts and their implications for China's future.

Domestic political developments are also under scrutiny in this book. It examines the Chinese Communist Party's grip on power, the limits on political dissent and human rights, and the efforts to control information and media. It probes the future of Chinese democracy and political reform, as well as the implications of Xi Jinping's consolidation of power.

China's foreign policy and global ambitions are reshaping the international landscape. The book explores China's strategic maneuvers in the Asia-Pacific region, its expanding economic footprint across the globe, and its quest for technological supremacy. It examines China's evolving relationship with the United States, its growing influence in developing countries, and its role in shaping the global order.

**The Dragon's Struggle: Internal Challenges and the Rise of China** is a timely and essential resource for scholars, policymakers, business leaders, and anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of China's rise in the 21st century. It provides a deeper understanding of this enigmatic nation and its profound impact on the global stage.

Renewal - Liberal Protestants...

Mark Wild

In the decades following World War II, a movement of clergy and laity sought to restore liberal Protestantism to the center of American urban life. Chastened by their failure to avert war and the Holocaust, and troubled by missionaries’ complicity with colonial regimes, they redirected their energies back home. 
 
Renewal explores the rise and fall of this movement, which began as an effort to restore the church’s standing but wound up as nothing less than an openhearted crusade to remake our nation’s cities. These campaigns reached beyond church walls to build or lend a hand to scores of organizations fighting for welfare, social justice, and community empowerment among the increasingly nonwhite urban working class. Church leaders extended their efforts far beyond traditional evangelicalism, often dovetailing with many of the contemporaneous social currents coursing through the nation, including black freedom movements and the War on Poverty. 
 
Renewal illuminates the overlooked story of how religious institutions both shaped and were shaped by postwar urban America.

On Forgiveness

Russell Hasan

This is an essay on forgiveness, not in the religious sense, but in a purely secular meaning, as in, when one person forgives another person for something they did wrong. The primary focus is on self-forgiveness, where a person forgives themselves, a concept which this essay explains as "moral bankruptcy," using debts and credits and bankruptcy and economics and finance as a metaphor for the moral debts and moral credits that you owe to yourself and to others, that you owe it to yourself to be a good person, and you owe it to other people to be good to them, and, where you fail, you owe them a debt. The human brain evolved in such a way that humans tend to subconsciously seek to repay moral debts through the infliction of emotional pain, either inflicting emotional pain upon the self for debts owed to self (guilt), inflicting pain upon the self for debts owed to others (shame), or inflicting pain upon others for debts they owe to you (anger). This essay, despite being atheistic and secular in nature, does explore forgiveness in the context of areas that are commonly thought of as religious sins: lust, greed, pride, envy, and evil, as well as shame and guilt. The key central idea is that self-forgiveness, "moral bankruptcy," can help set you free from any guilt, shame, and anger that is holding you back in your life, and forgiveness will enable you to live a happier life, by giving you the confidence to act, and to achieve, with a greater resistance to fear of feeling guilt or shame if you fail, thereby tranquilizing fear of rejection or fear of failure or fear of disappointment. This theory of emotions will define honor, emotional maturity, self-esteem, and confidence, as well as explaining all of the seven major emotions: happiness, sadness, love, fear, guilt, shame, and anger. This book is cold, logical, no-nonsense wisdom about forgiveness, and is not mere wishy-washy empty generalities like most self-help books.
