Karl Gerth’s research project reinterprets the first three decades of the People’s Republic of China, 1949–76. The era has been seen as explicitly anticapitalist, hyperegalitarian, and anticonsumerist. By contrast, this project argues that many of the policies of the period had unintended effects that negated the socialist revolution.
