Description

Explore the historical transformation of Chinese commerce with Merchants and Society in Modern China by Routledge. This scholarly work examines how merchants moved from the lowest social class in ancient China to a powerful force in modern times. As capitalism began to emerge in the sixteenth century, these groups started changing the structure of society. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the book applies anthropology, psychology, geography, and economics to study the rise of merchant groups. It provides a detailed look at the golden age of merchants and the specific dilemmas they faced during this period of transition. This text is an essential resource for those studying business and economic history within the China Perspectives series.
