This book describes China's encounter with capitalism from the sixteenth century to the twentieth century. It poses poignant questions in simple language, guides the reader through a complex literature and presents a unique point of view.
This small book is a tour de force. In remarkably brief compass, David Faure identifies and addresses key issues in Chinese business history between 1500 and the present. For China specialists, he sets a research agenda covering five centuries, and for business historians outside the China field, he provides a sweeping synthesis that includes tantalizing comparisons between China and the West. -- Sherman Cochran, Hu Shih Professor of History, Cornell University
