This powerful and meticulously researched study explores the role
of rural industry and entrepreneurship in the Chinese economic
miracle. Linda Grove considers especially the development of the
Gaoyang industrial district, China's best-known rural industrial
district of the pre-World War II period. By focusing on one weaving
district in North China, she is able to explore in detail the ways
in which small industrial firms have accumulated capital, organized
their firms, developed nationwide marketing networks, and promoted
brands over the last century. Cutting across the conventional
divide between studies of "history" and "contemporary economy" and
between pre- and post-1949 China, the author persuasively shows the
links between traditional Chinese business practices and
contemporary entrepreneurial success. The first book in English to
explore the world of small-scale business firms in China, it
introduces the activities of individual entrepreneurs and firms and
examines the structure of industrial organization that has
supported the rapid growth of individual firms. Based on several
decades of archival research, surveys, and fieldwork, A Chinese
Economic Revolution provides an in-depth exploration of Chinese
rural industry. Framed by the author's extensive familiarity with
rural industrial development in Japan, India, and Europe, the book
also offers important comparative perspectives for those interested
in global economic history, postsocialist economic performance, and
economic development strategies.
