Capitalist Road In 2009 China celebrates 60 years of Communism, but look through Fritz Hoffmann’s photographs, and one has to wonder what the authorities now mean by their catch-all term, “socialism with Chinese characteristics”. Hoffmann, an American, moved to Shanghai in 1995, when the city was on the brink of the biggest construction boom in history. Since then he has been traveling from China’s mega-municipalities to its remote corners, chronicling one of the most significant stories of our time: the rise and rise of the world’s most populous country - a communist nation. Reviews Fritz Hoffmann knows China better than any foreign photographer. He has spent the last decade chronicling the emergence of a new economic order there, a strange amalgam of capitalism and communism. His whimsical eye, his compassion for his subjects, and his appreciation of China’s contradictions makes a him a wonderful guide to what is the most important economic and political story of our time. Published All rights available Fritz Hoffmann Photographer FRITZ HOFFMANN was the first foreign photographer since 1949 to be granted Chinese journalist accreditation to reside outside of Beijing. For over a decade Hoffmann has shot for Fortune, TIME, Newsweek, National Geographic, Forbes and Business Week magazines. He holds over 10,000 images of China.
