The Great Economic Leap: from Maoism to State Capitalism

China introduced economic reforms in 1978.  In the late 1970s and early 1980s the government began state-owned de-collectivization of agriculture, foreign investment, and permission for entrepreneurs to start businesses.  By the late 1980s and 1990s communist China moved towards capitalism -- privatization, contracting out of much state-owned industry and the lifting price controls, protectionist policies, and regulations while maintaining state monopolies in sectors such as banking and petroleum.

early 20th century Mysticism Spiritualism and Reincarnation

"by the end of the nineteenth century, Victorians were seeking rational explanations for the world in which they lived. The radical ideas of Charles Darwin had shaken traditional religious beliefs. Sigmund Freud was developing his innovative models of the conscious and unconscious mind. And anthropologist James George Frazer was subjecting magic, myth, and ritual to systematic inquiry… in this quintessentially modern moment, late-Victorian and Edwardian men and women became absorbed by metaphysical quests, heterodox spiritual encounters, and occult experimentation".  The Place of Enchantment:  British Occultism and the Culture of the Modern, Alex Owen
