In this collection of essays Maurice Meisner sheds light on an important but under-explored aspect of Maoist thought: utopianism. As he quickly points out in this work, Western scholars typically view Maoist utopianism as "political abnormal or economically irrational behavior that has intruded on the historical scene" (17). While not denying some of its bizarre elements (the cult of Mao for example), Meisner's aim in this book is to redress such views and take Mao's utopian visions more seriously. In doing so, he develops a picture of how such central components of Maoist thought as the transformative role of consciousness, the belief that the will of the peasant masses can shape society, and the ability of Chinese society to leapfrog over key stages of socio-economic development, were all vital in to Mao's vision of China's future.
