| Summary/Abstract |
Using a census survey of households in Guizhou Province, this paper examines the patterns of village poverty and inequality and their major correlates. The results show that poverty incidences vary greatly among villages and inequality is relatively high within villages in these impoverished areas. Although agriculture is still the major source of livelihood in this inland western region, income from local nonfarm jobs and remittance is more unevenly distributed and accounts for the largest share of overall income inequality. Surprisingly, blood donation is another major source of cash income. On the expenditure side, health care was found to be one of the most important sources of inequality. The paper also found that the distribution of assets, particularly land holdings, contributes to overall income inequality.

| Summary/Abstract |
The paper intends to offer a framework of understanding the dual rise of
econo-centric capitalism and logo-centric fundamentalism as a dialectical
process of mutual generation and destruction in the long historical struggles
between ideas and values on the one hand, and material life and society on
the other. "Mutual generation and destruction" implies a dialectical process
in which the deification of the free market and the global expansion of
market capitalism have unavoidably generated mounting contradictions
paving the way for the resurgence of radical counter-hegemonic sociopolitical
forces. It is the analysis of this connection that leads to a better
understanding of the essence of fundamentalism rather than its appearance.
Islamic fundamentalism can be seen as a counter-hegemonic political
movement representing an outlet for action and a force for change.
Ironically, what we are witnessing today is a war between two rising
religions: Islamic revivalism and market capitalism.
