Dr. Hayward specializes in explaining China's political economy and misconceptions surrounding it. The conversation explores the role of state planning in China's market system, the impact of Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms, the significant shifts in labor and welfare policies, and the nuanced relationship between the Chinese Communist Party and its capitalist class. We also delve into the ideological revival under Xi Jinping and whether or not China is really transitioning to socialism.
