Most contemporary China-reform process analysts ignore its critical reliance on the long and (perhaps) unsuccessful history of capitalist global economic expantion into the Far East; a history that include the clash and fusion of capitalistic production methods with Asiatic innovations such as the inventionmajor impact of a Sinocentric international nation-state system operating independet of the Westphalian balance of power model; or, developement in China of a technological revolution (industrious revolution) with a major impact on world GNP, different thab the European industrial revolution. In addition, world-systems-school analysts, although more sensitive to the influences of long-term processes on current reforms, have failed to note a curious asymetric parallel between contemporary Chinese reforms and the history of both Amercican philosophical pragmaticism and its Marxist association, and, the vicissitudes with the Golconda Group, in its bitter search for an authentic development model. This paper attempts to chronicle the existence of such unecxplored connections.

Keywords : China-reforms; world-economy; pragmatism; Golconda; industrious revolution.
