"Social stratification in contemporary China: definitive survey and analysis raises and debates major sociological issues of modern and present-day China from a historical perspective. Such topics as "equality and inequality" and "acceptability of defined inequality" have been dealt with in a board historical context since 1949 when the People's Republic was founded. The work is widely accepted as one of the most important studies trying to clarify the difficult perceptions of policy of reform and opening up that was formulated and implemented in the early 1980s in China.
