Beskrivning
Inspired by Max Weber’s thesis on the Protestant ethic, ‘Overseas Chinese Christian Entrepreneurs in Modern China’ sets out to understand the role and influence of Christianity on Overseas Chinese businesspeople working in contemporary China. Through its in-depth interviews and participant observations (involving 60 Overseas Chinese entrepreneurs from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and the United States), the text discusses how Christianity has come to fulfill an increasingly visible and dynamic function in the country, most notably as a new source of business morality.

Recensioner i media

“The book’s tightly interwoven threads of theory and empirical scrutiny combine to produce a readable and stimulating work […] At the outset, the theoretical orientation of the book is established in a discussion of the complex debate about the relationship between religion and economics and a framing of the study in explicitly Weberian terms […the book] connects constantly with issues of broad theoretical significance and most crucially with a nuanced interpretation of Weber’s economic sociology.” —Michael Hill, “Journal of Contemporary Religion”
