Reviews

In Precarious Ties, Rithmire delves into one of the most puzzling aspects of China's economic development: the unusually dangerous relationship between business and political elites in an authoritarian country. * David Barboza, Co-Founder of The Wire China * Meg Rithmire has brought finance into the study of Asian political economy with a vengeance. Her comparative analysis of three diverse authoritarian systems masterfully details how trust and alignment between business and the state tend to disintegrate over time, with politically explosive implications. Interested in what China's growing financial woes might mean for its politics? Read this book. * Dan Slater, James Orin Murfin Professor of Political Science, University of Michigan *
