"Good" Mao, "Bad" Mao
There is "good" Mao and "bad" Mao. There is the Mao of the Chinese Civil War, and then there's the Mao of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. So which Mao Zedong is the "real" Mao Zedong? Peter Levenda gets into all of this in his latest book, "The Mao of Business: Guerrilla Trade Techniques for the New China," where he describes how the majority of Chinese you'll be dealing with as part of your China business will have come of age during the worst years of Mao's sordid reign and why you should be reading Mao's "Little Red Book" instead of more traditional Chinese strategy tomes like The Art of War. It was a compelling read, and that's what we talk about in today's pod. Thanks again for watching!
