Adam Tooze ‘s recent reflection on how China’s growth (on economic, social, + dimensions) led me to recall my post earlier this year reflecting on modernity.

Do we interpret contemporary China’s story as a late, socialist, oriental version of modernity? Or do we read China’s astonishing transformation, together with the more equal balance of power across the world, as a sign that modernity itself has ended, and yielded to a period whose name struggles to be born?
