Why did it take China more than a century after its defeat in the
first Opium War to begin systematically acquiring the fruits of
modern technology? To what extent did the rapid economic
developments after 1949 depend on features unique to China and to
Chinese history as well as on the socialist reorganization of
society? These are the major questions examined in this collection
of papers which challenges many previously accepted generalizations
about the nature and extent of advances in China's economy during
the twentieth century.
The papers discuss the positive and negative effects of foreign
imperialism on Chinese economic development, the adequacy of
China's financial resources for major economic initiatives, the
state of science and technology in late traditional China, the
changing structure of national product and distribution of income,
the cotton textile and small machine-building industries as
examples of pre-1949 economic bases, the village-market town
structure of rural China, the tradition of cooperative efforts in
agriculture, and the influence of the Yenan period on the economic
thinking of China's leaders.
