This wholly original reassessment of critical issues in modern
Chinese history traces social, economic, and ecological change in
inland North China during the late Qing dynasty and the Republic.
Using many new sources, Kenneth Pomeranz argues that the
development of certain regions entailed the systematic
underdevelopment of other regions. He maps changes in local
finance, farming, transportation, taxation, and popular protest,
and analyzes the consequences for different classes, sub-regions,
and genders.
Pomeranz attributes these diverse developments to several causes:
the growing but incomplete integration of North China into the
world economy, the state's abandonment of many hinterland areas and
traditional functions, and the effect of local social structures on
these processes. He shows that hinterlands were "made," not merely
found, and were powerfully shaped by the strategies of local groups
as well as outside forces.
