In this book, Thomas Buoye examines the impact of large-scale
economic change on social conflict in eighteenth-century China. He
draws upon a large body of actual, documented homicide cases
originating in property disputes to recreate the social tensions of
rural China during the Qianlong reign (1736-95). The development of
property rights, a process that had begun in the Ming dynasty, was
accompanied by other changes that fostered disruption and conflict,
including an explosion in the population growth and the increasing
strain on land and resources, and increasing commercialization in
agriculture. Buoye challenges the 'markets' and 'moral economy'
theories of economic behaviour. Applying the theories of Douglass
North for the first time to this subject, he uses an institutional
framework to explain seemingly irrational economic choices. Buoye
examines demographic and technological factors, ideology, and
political and economic institutions in rural China to understand
the link between economic and social change.
