More about the book

Focusing on the concept of Confucian Capitalism, this book critically examines the perceived economic successes of the Chinese diaspora through values like hard work, family, and community. It challenges the myth that these attributes are solely derived from Confucianism, revealing a more complex reality shaped by historical and cultural nuances. By integrating theoretical analysis with ethnographic research among Chinese traders in Sarawak, the author provides valuable insights into Chinese business practices and contributes to broader discussions in cultural studies and economic anthropology.
