具體描述
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.

讀後感
Osburg’s approach that heavily relies on the case studies recorded from ethnographic fieldwork has rendered the volume reader-friendly in a novel-like style, however at the finance of being less convincing and critical theoretically. The extensive ethnogra...

評分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...

用戶評價
補標，今天重見小時候做噩夢的油膩豬頭們想起這本書。成都官商關係實錄，ktv是試驗場。但對賄賂的描述沒涉及土地權的實質，搞得好像是雙方道德問題：）
评分讀瞭intro, 描述基本符閤實情，麵嚮西方讀者因而細節翔實。
评分高開低走！作者好奇心和耐心都欠缺
