For Zhang, foundings are not moments but widely diffuse activities that provoke action. They
proceed by means of example as much as by persuasion; and individual ―founders‖ need not
await benevolent lawgivers or assume an existing community to begin their work. This project is
a book about Zhang‘s thought, but it is just as much a handbook for how individuals can initiate
effective, non-coercive political and social change in situations of seemingly hopeless adversity.
