...Star Wars came Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), his computerized effects company, and THX, the advanced sound system for theaters, and a little studio, specializing in digital animation, that became Pixar. (Lucas sold that one to fellow visionary capitalist Steve Jobs.) The film?s triumph also allowed him to become his own mogul, essentially renting later episodes to 20th Century Fox, rather than working for hire. Most surprising, perhaps, was Lucas? fidelity to the fantasy world he?d dreamed up. He could have gone back, or on, to making the gnarly little independent movies he has talked about, to increasingly incredulous...

...What does this Marxist love-fest mean for a nation that has embraced capitalist reforms so energetically over the past two decades that it has consistently boasted annual growth rates of nearly 10%? Certainly, the administration of President Hu Jintao hasn't turned its back on the marketplace. But with nearly 240 protests a day erupting nationwide in 2005-over everything from seizures of farmland and rising health care costs to environmental degradation and unaffordable education-the country's leaders are trying to replace a no-holds-barred form of capitalism with a kinder, gentler version that takes better care...

...Solis? stunning near-upset-pre-election voter polls suggested Arias would win handily-came close to adding Costa Rica to the growing list of Latin nations who have moved leftward in the past year, as voters grow increasingly frustrated with U.S.-backed capitalist reforms that only seem to have widened the region?s epic wealth gap. Bolivia, Chile and Uruguay recently elected leftist heads of state; seven more Latin presidential elections are slated for this year, and leftist candidates are given a strong chance of winning as many as six of them. ?Hopefully, Arias can be a counterbalance against...

...schools sprouting outside Beijing, but it's not long before Lin discovers she has no real place in this new world. In another story, "Immortality," the rise and fall of a professional Mao impersonator comes to symbolize China's astounding past century, from decaying empire to totalitarian nightmare to capitalist powerhouse. The story, which won the Paris Review's Plimpton Prize for first fiction, is narrated collectively by the citizens of the impersonator's home village, as if all of them are speaking in a single voice. The effect is as mesmerizing as an incantation, and a reminder...
