520 "Who exactly are China's new rich? This pioneering
investigation introduces readers to the private lives--and
the nightlives--of the powerful entrepreneurs and managers
redefining success and status in the city of Chengdu. Over
the course of more than three years, anthropologist John
Osburg accompanied, and in some instances assisted,
wealthy Chinese businessmen as they courted clients,
partners, and government officials. Drawing on his
immersive experiences, Osburg invites readers to join him
as he journeys through the new, highly gendered
entertainment sites for Chinese businessmen, including
karaoke clubs, saunas, and massage parlors--places
specifically designed to cater to the desires and
enjoyment of elite men. Within these spaces, a
masculinization of business is taking place. Osburg
details the complex code of behavior that governs
businessmen as they go about banqueting, drinking,
gambling, bribing, exchanging gifts, and obtaining sexual
services. These intricate social networks play a key role
in generating business, performing social status, and
reconfiguring gender roles. But many entrepreneurs feel
trapped by their obligations and moral compromises in this
evolving environment. Ultimately, Osburg examines their
deep ambivalence about China's future and their own
complicity in the major issues of post-Mao Chinese society
--corruption, inequality, materialism, and loss of trust."
