Description
Richard von Glahn's comprehensive study explores China's economic development over three millennia, from the Bronze Age to the early twentieth century. This accessible analysis examines the institutional foundations, continuities and discontinuities in China's preindustrial economy.
The author reveals how China's economy shared features with advanced European regions, such as productive agriculture and sophisticated markets, yet diverged in significant ways, including the importance of irrigated rice farming and family structure. By examining these factors, Glahn sheds light on the complex relationships between political institutions and economic development.
