520 |a The Children of Light and the Children of Darkness is Reinhold Niebuhr’s major treatise on democratic theory. A reassessment of the book with particular attention to Niebuhr’s theological analyses of human sinfulness, individual ownership, and toleration may help us to understand the political and economic situation in China.

This article will explore whether it is plausible to construct a free, just, and affluent society without democracy, as the CPC proclaims.
