Book Description
Economic history deals with daily life, but also goes beyond that to interpret the important turning points which made daily life possible. This book demonstrates why Hong Kong was so successful as a commercial, industrial and financial city at different times in its history and how these major changes made an impact on the life of its people. The documents selected for inclusion illustrate vividly problems confronted by entrepreneur and government at every stage in these changes. An outline history provided in the general introduction and to every chapter brings coherence to the different themes which emerge throughout the book. “It will be treasured for its strong historical dimension, solid documents, and insightful statements. The appropriate selection of sources will please not only professional socioeconomic historians, but also the reading public with highly interesting and important topics ranging from the voice of business, the legal infrastructure, to the opium issue, the sterling crisis, and so on.” — Professor Yip Hon Ming, History Department, The Chinese University of Hong Kong “This book has provided in one place the most useful research materials for studying the economic history of Hong Kong, a subject which deserves more attention. The thematic approach is most helpful and the introductory comments to the book and each chapter are extremely insightful. It is highly recommended for serious researchers and general readers alike.” — Edward K Y Chen, President, Lingnan University

The Making of a New Rural Order in South China: Volume 2, Merchants, Markets, and Lineages, 1500–1700

Pages : 481
Book Description
This volume is written for anyone who has wondered about the growth of Chinese businesses and their relation to Chinese family and government institutions. Making full use of its partner volume's findings on village institutions in the southern prefecture of Huizhou, this volume explains how late imperial China's key regional group of merchants emerged from this prefecture's village lineages. It identifies the strategies they deployed to overcome the serious obstacles to their domination of major financial transactions and commodity markets throughout much of China from 1500 to 1700. At the same time it describes how the commercial success enjoyed by these 'house firms' undermined their lineages' social stability, making them vulnerable to competition from popular religious cults back home. In recounting how rural and urban institutions interacted through state and economic development, McDermott provides a powerful new framework for understanding late imperial China's distinctive trajectory to social and economic transformation.
