具体描述
Who exactly are China's new rich? This pioneering investigation introduces readers to the private lives—and the nightlives—of the powerful entrepreneurs and managers redefining success and status in the city of Chengdu. Over the course of more than three years, anthropologist John Osburg accompanied, and in some instances assisted, wealthy Chinese businessmen as they courted clients, partners, and government officials.
Drawing on his immersive experiences, Osburg invites readers to join him as he journeys through the new, highly gendered entertainment sites for Chinese businessmen, including karaoke clubs, saunas, and massage parlors—places specifically designed to cater to the desires and enjoyment of elite men. Within these spaces, a masculinization of business is taking place. Osburg details the complex code of behavior that governs businessmen as they go about banqueting, drinking, gambling, bribing, exchanging gifts, and obtaining sexual services.
These intricate social networks play a key role in generating business, performing social status, and reconfiguring gender roles. But many entrepreneurs feel trapped by their obligations and moral compromises in this evolving environment. Ultimately, Osburg examines their deep ambivalence about China's future and their own complicity in the major issues of post-Mao Chinese society—corruption, inequality, materialism, and loss of trust.

读后感
花了近一个月的时间看完了这本书，读完才发现原来在身边习以为常的明/潜规则的成因是这样复杂隐晦又因国情而独特。官僚、商人、服务性行业从业者各有各的光鲜及苦衷，抱着各自的目的，结自己的关系网，用或卑劣或或精妙的手段追寻荣华富贵。 书中让我深有感触的还是女性的不易...

用户评价
我为什么觉得他写得很啰嗦啊，被指定的章节没有觉得看得很inspiring！ 感觉民族志part写得确实写得不错，因为作为一个外国人的视角来的容易一些。看到他写自己出现在那些场合，是作为国际友人撑场面的需要时笑了： 这样的事情太多了，都已经成了外国人在中国的外汇之一了好吧。
评分除却对中国“middle-class”的定义不明外，其他读来甚是informative。
评分作为一个从小在这种环境中长大的人，见多了听多了各种事，还是觉得作者的描述实在太表面。为“关系”而讲"关系"这样的格局也实在太小。事实上这些关系同更大更重要的话题，诸如经济运作等等都直接相关（不只是贿赂问题）。另外作者似乎想把程度现象直接等同为中国，事实上地区差异也是明显的，即便相似性也很明显。至于女人和娱乐当做润滑剂这种事情，学术圈也一样。当年某外国教授给我说在中国时系领导们喜欢拉着去KTV然后一起嫖妓，他们觉得一起嫖过后就都是兄弟了。他和一些同事都遇到过这种事。当然，这种事情当然也得发生在比较有钱的系，那些穷系没这钱来拉关系。那么作者有没有这么搞过关系呢？想来也是有趣。
评分“勾兑”
评分补标，今天重见小时候做噩梦的油腻猪头们想起这本书。成都官商关系实录，ktv是试验场。但对贿赂的描述没涉及土地权的实质，搞得好像是双方道德问题：）
