The Ming dynasty (1368-1644), a period of commercial expansion and
cultural innovation, fashioned the relationship between the present
day state and society in China. This unique collection of reworked
and heavily illustrated essays, by one of the leading scholars of
Chinese history, re-examines this relationship and argues that
contrary to previous scholarship, it was radical responses within
society that led to a 'constitution', not periods of fluctuation
within the dynasty itself. Brook's outstanding scholarship
demonstrates that it was changes in commercial relations and social
networks that were actually responsible for the development of a
stable society. This imaginative reconsidering of existing
scholarship on the history of China will be fascinating reading for
scholars and students interested in China's development.
