"Ranging in time from early Ming to the present day, and in geographical scope to include mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, these papers have the common aim of examining the system of social relationships that underlies and surrounds Chinese economic activity. Five papers consider various economic aspects of Ch'ing China: the government salt monopoly, the organization of credit, silk and cotton production and the technology of the textile industry. Four papers deal with contemporary Taiwan and others discuss commercialization of Chinese agriculture since the 1890s, a wholesale market, and a small factory in Hong Kong, and brigade organization in a people's commune."
