This book explores the development of the putting-out system in
hand-woven textile industries in late Qing Dynasty and China's
Republican Period. In classic sociology theory, the putting-out
system in handcraft production was regarded as traditional and
inefficient. In the context of Republican China, it was believed
that this kind of household-based production system would have
totally failed in competition with the factory system of machinery
production. However, this book exhibits the historical fact that
the putting-out system was booming in handcraft textile production
and subsequently provides an explanation to this phenomenon from
the perspectives of institutional analysis and quantitative
modeling. With rich county-level data and comprehensive analysis,
this book is valuable for both researchers, academics and students
in economics and social history studies.
