So excited to receive this in the mail today! (Don’t forget that you can preorder from UM Press with the discount code UMWEB30.) The official release date isn’t till October 28, but I’ll have a physical copy with me at ASA. If anyone wants to check it out, come find me!

It is with much excitement (and yet still a heavy heart) that I announce the forthcoming publication of my late colleague Xiaohong Xu’s final work, The Great Separation: The Chinese Cultural Revolution and the Political Origins of Ordoeconomism (University of Michigan Press, October 2026).
