Ancient Chinese Politics with Daniel Bell

About this episode

The episode discusses the influence of Legalists and Confucians in modern China, alongside the voices of Mohists and Daoists.

The Legalists and Confucians still run the show in today’s China, argues a scholar of classical Chinese thought — but the Mohists and Daoists still have a voice in the debate. The China Books Podcast is a companion of China Books Review, a project of Asia Society’s Center on U.S.-China Relations and The Wire China.
