Несмотря на ужасы маоисткого раскулачивания и пр., дети той элиты из докоммунистического Китая опять занимают более высокое положение в китайском социуме: их доходы в среднем на 17% выше, они более образованны, показывают лучшие рез-ты по математике. Гипотеза: "чистки" не уничтожили майндсета (что это такое, ну? может, генов было бы правильнее:)) родителей теперешней возрожденной элиты, которые передали ентот майндсет своим наследникам, и, что не менее важно, а может и более, связей - большая часть такой элиты - из клановых деревенских сообществ Китая.
The scholars offer several possible explanations for the relatively swift restoration of advantage to the old elite. Hidden wealth-hoarded by relatives outside mainland China-may have helped. But more important was the enduring strength of family networks inside the country. The rebound of wealth among descendants of the former elite, the scholars write, has been found almost exclusively in villages with a strong clan-based social structure (there are many such in China). The researchers suggest that despite the upheavals of the Mao era, parents were still able to transmit their high-status mindsets to their offspring. Less than 45 years after Mao’s death, the toppled elite have managed to seize society’s summit again.
