Description

Explore the intricate relationship between state power and artisanal production during China's Qing Dynasty in this scholarly examination from Amsterdam University Press. This volume traces how imperial governance shaped craft industries across 267 years of transformation, examining the economic structures, regulations, and social hierarchies that defined work in Asia during this pivotal period. Published by Routledge, the book offers historians, economists, and Asia specialists a detailed analysis of how state policies influenced everything from textile production to porcelain manufacturing. The work sits within the Social Histories of Work in Asia series, providing essential context for understanding pre-modern Asian economies and the relationship between centralised authority and skilled labour.
