China and the Search for Happiness
Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked China and the Search for Happiness as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
What the Manuels did for the West, Bauer did for China. Sometimes we think of the Chinese as eminently practical people, but they had their dreams of perfect worlds as well. And these dreams were not necessarily kept to the world of sleep but found expression in the lives of individuals and communities. The Manuels confronted the fact that dreams fade with a touch of cynicism, Bauer with a touch of melancholy.
From Peter's list on utopianism east and west.
