China's rise as the world's second-largest economy surely is the
most dramatic development in the global economy since the year
2000. But China's prominence in the global economy is hardly new.
Since 500 BCE, a dynamic market economy and the establishment of an
enduring imperial state fostered precocious economic growth. Yet
Chinese society and government featured distinctive institutions
that generated unique patterns of economic development. The six
chapters of Part I of this volume trace the forms of livelihood,
organization of production and exchange, the role of the state in
economic development, the evolution of market institutions, and the
emergence of trans-Eurasian trade from antiquity to 1000 CE. Part
II, in twelve thematic chapters, spans the late imperial period
from 1000 to 1800 and surveys diverse fields of economic history,
including environment, demography, rural and urban development,
factor markets, law, money, finance, philosophy, political economy,
foreign trade, human capital, and living standards.
China's rise as the world's second-largest economy surely is the
most dramatic development in the global economy since the year
2000. Volume II, which spans China's two turbulent centuries from
1800, charts this wrenching process of an ancient empire being
transformed to re-emerge as a major world power. This volume for
the first time brings together the fruits of pioneering
international scholarship in all dimensions of economic history to
provide an authoritative and comprehensive overview of this
tumultuous and dramatic transformation. In many cases, it offers a
fundamental reinterpretation of major themes in Chinese economic
history, such as the role of ideology, the rise of new
institutions, human capital and public infrastructure, the impact
of Western and Japanese imperialism, the role of external trade and
investment, and the evolution of living standards in both the
pre-Communist and Communist eras. The volume includes seven
important chapters on the Mao and reform eras and provides a
critical historical perspective linking the past with the present
and future.
