Description

Explore the historical evolution of the Chinese farm economy in this detailed study by Dwight H. Perkins. This book examines how China's agricultural systems responded to the pressures of a growing population over several centuries. The narrative begins in A.D. 1368, marking the start of the Ming dynasty. This era represented a significant turning point, following two centuries of violent destruction and loss of life linked to the rise and fall of the Mongols. Unlike previous eras, the period following the fourteenth century was characterized by stability in farming techniques and rural institutions. By analyzing the relationship between population growth and the increasing number of farmers, this work provides a clear look at the economic history of the region. It is an essential resource for readers interested in business and economic history, specifically regarding how rural societies adapt to demographic shifts over long periods of time.
