Fred W. Riggs - The Theory of Prismatic Society (II)


This post builds on the following:


Though I am not an expert in Prof. Riggs' research, what I find interesting is that he puts forth that the traditional and modern can co-exist in a developing society.

I think Prof. Riggs was perhaps influenced deeply by his upbringing in China and his university education there for two years.

His insights I see in today's China as the country embraces industrial society.

Sometimes we overlook older research. I think it is profoundly important to re review what has been done in the past. When I do, I always draw even deeper insights.
