Abstract

Two recent books, "Money Machine" by Weijian Shan and "The Dean of Shandong" by Daniel Bell, provide valuable insights into contemporary Chinese business and academia. "Money Machine" recounts the story of an American private equity firm's acquisition of Shenzhen Development Bank in the early 2000s, shedding light on China's banking sector reform. "The Dean of Shandong" reflects on Bell's experience as the first non-Chinese dean of a political science faculty in mainland China, offering insights into ideology, politics, and the internationalization of Chinese universities. Both books highlight the role of individuals in shaping China and challenge monolithic narratives about the country. [Extracted from the article]
