If anyone has read the book, please post some comments here!
I haven’t read very much of the book, but I notice that Jiang Qing presents a succinct summary of Political Confucianism on p. 25-29. Here it is on Google books:

I know this might sound funny to some, but I’m starting think Jiang Qing is not radical enough. He makes too many accommodations to liberalism and feminism.
Haha.
You guys know that you can download 《公羊学引论》 and 《政治儒学》 for free on Sina, right? Those two books cover the same topics in much greater detail, based on traditional scholarship rather than modern scholarship. These two books are absolutely mind-blowing.
