Description

Explore the evolution of one of the world's most influential economies with this scholarly analysis by Gang Deng. Spanning from the Shang to the Qing periods (1520BC - 1911AD), this book examines the transition from medieval sophistication to modern underdevelopment. It provides a deep look into why the Chinese economy faced specific structural limitations over several centuries. This text serves as an essential resource for students and researchers looking to understand the historical context of China's modern economic landscape. By investigating the factors that shaped its development, readers gain a better understanding of the country's historical economic struggles and its path toward the modern era. This volume is a key part of the Routledge Explorations in Economic History series, offering a comprehensive perspective on the forces that drove or hindered growth in premodern China.
