This book examines Shanxi piaohao-private financiers from the
Chinese hinterland-in the economic and business history of late
imperial China, forming the original theory of Chinese hinterland
capitalism. Deepening the existing understanding of capitalist
dynamics at work in the families and financial institutions of late
imperial China, the book foregrounds the expansionist role played
by Shanxi piaohao in transforming China's market and trade from an
agrarian empire to a modern nation state. In a departure for
economic history, it also focuses on the histories of the people
and their lifeworlds behind financial institutions, which have
previously been erased by universal capitalist narratives.
Persistent binary oppositions between coastal areas and hinterland;
state and market; and institutions and families are each
transcended in recounting the local histories of global capital in
the marginalized countryside and borderlands of China. Based on a
wealth of archival material and correspondence with Shanxi piaohao
offices and branches, Chinese Hinterland Capitalism and Shanxi
Piaohao will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese and
economic history, anthropology, and postcolonial studies more
generally.
