Meisner often found his work needed fundamental revision. The first edition of his book was finished just a few weeks before Mao Zedong's death in 1976. A second edition, published in 1986 as Mao's China and After. The book also analyzed the changes that happened with the reforms of Deng Xiaoping. A third edition, published in 1999, studied the origins and consequences of Chinese capitalism.[1]
Rebecca Karl wrote "[h]aving taught his Mao's China and After, I knew that a theoretically coherent and analytically challenging text was possible to use in the classroom."[2]
