politician China

Wang Mang (45 BCE – 23 CE) was a Chinese politician and usurper who founded the Xin dynasty, which briefly interrupted the Western Han dynasty. Known for his ambitious reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy and redistributing land, Wang Mang's reign was marked by significant changes to the social order, including attempts to replace the feudal system. His rule faced considerable opposition, leading to widespread unrest and eventually his downfall. His legacy is complex; while he is often criticized for his authoritarian methods, his efforts to address social inequalities resonate in discussions of Chinese history.
