本书是张化桥先生暨Inside China's Shadow Banking之后第二本英文力作，主要讲关于国家资本主义（State Captalism）以及张化桥在国有企业的亲身经历 。

本书英文介绍如下：

Inefficient and corrupt, the state sector in China is the source of many of the nation's current ills. However, according to corporate financier and bestselling author Joe Zhang, it is fixable. Even amid the rise of private sector capitalism, the government and public in China have faith in the state sector. And now, contrary to the predictions of many experts in the West, China's state sector is rebounding and on track to expand further. In his new book, Party Man, Company Man: Is China's State Capitalism Doomed? Joe shares his firsthand insights in to China's SOEs (State-Owned Enterprises) in China, the reasons he left the Communist Party, and his predictions on the future of China's successful and growing state sector.

RECOMMENDATION

"Joe Zhang has long been one of the most astute observers of China, whether the issue is energy efficiency, macroeconomics or the role of state-owned companies.... This book is a rare firsthand view from inside the machinery of China's vast economy."
