Chinese History in Economic Perspective
This volume marks a turning point in the study of Chinese economic history. It arose from a realization that the economic history of China—as opposed to the history of the Chinese economy—had yet to be written. Most histories of the Chinese economy, whether by Western or Chinese scholars, tend to view the economy in institutional or social terms. In contrast, the studies in this volume break new ground by systematically applying economic theory a…
Chinese History in Economic Perspective
trate how economic history is not the same as the history of an economy, and how an economic perspective involves more than an interest in some eco nomic topic.Scholarship on China has excelled in studying the economy of China, but has barely begun to do so with a true economic perspective.The fundamental objective of this volume is to delineate and illustrate the poten tial contribution of systematically applying an economic approach to the stud…

Richardvon Glahn. The Economic History of China
In The Economic History of China: From Antiquity to the Nineteenth Century, Richard von Glahn has accomplished the heroic task of presenting over three millennia of history in an authoritative but undogmatic way. Von Glahn, a distinguished scholar of the middle period of Chinese history, brings together the most recent scholarship in the field, subjecting it to critical analysis and interpretation. No other scholar in China or the West has worked…

Fighting Famine in North China
This monumental work provides a new perspective on the historical significance of famines in China over the past three hundred years. It examines the relationship between the interventionist state policies of the eighteenth-century Qing emperors (“the golden age of famine relief”), the environmental and political crises of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (when China was called “the Land of Famine”), and the ambitions of the Mao era (…
Integration and Disintegration in North China's Grain Markets, 1738-1911
An analysis of grain prices from Zhili (Hebei) province in North China for the period from 1738 to 1911 demonstrates that while the province's local grain markets gradually fragmented, the provincial market as a whole simultaneously grew more closely integrated with external markets, first with Fengtian (Manchuria) and later with the Lower Yangzi region. The Qing state's food policies, the deterioration of transport routes, and the condition of r…
Guarding Beijing's Food Security in the Qing Dynasty
An essential feature of beijing'slong history as China's imperial capital was the ability to feed its population despite a geographical location distinctly unfavorable to agricultute. For all ancient and modern states, provisioning the capital is not only a matter of pride and prestige but a question of survival. The failure to feed civil officials, military supporters, and the urban population that serves them is a visible sign of a government's…
Policing Shanghai, 1927-1937
The Making of a Hinterland
Commercialization and Agricultural Development
Life and Death in a Chinese Famine
Famine mortality has a special interest for those interested in population history. After Malthus wroteAn Essay on the Principle of Populationin 1798, famine was viewed as an event that 'checks' population growth, perhaps the inevitable consequence of overpopulation. Although demographers have recently tried to show that a single famine or demographic crisis cannot retard population growth in the long run (Watkins and Menken 1985; Bongaarts and C…
China's Silk Trade. Traditional Industry in the Modern World, 1842-1937
The development of modern China's most important export commodity, silk, is traced from the opening of the treaty ports to the 1930s. This study examines the silk industry, one of China's most advanced traditional economic enterprises, as it moved into large-scale trade with the West. And it especially considers whether traditional economic organizations and practices encouraged or inhibited the expansion of the industry and its technological mod…
The Thistle and the Jade
China's Silk Trade
Silks by Sea
Although East Asia's silk trade with the West stretched far back into antiquity, the middle and later years of the nineteenth century witnessed a remarkable growth in the European and American demand for silk. This imparted a tremendous impetus to the Chinese and Japanese industries. For some eighty years, from the 1850s through the 1930s, trade flourished until the coming of synthetic fibers and world war curtailed its growth. The rise of so lar…
Introduction
This article delineates new approaches to the study of food and famine in Chinese history. Drawing primarily from the three other articles in the symposium, the author asks in what ways the Chinese state, primarily in the high Qing period, affected population growth, agricultural production, natural cycles, and food distribution, and what a historical perspective suggests about the People's Republic of China's efforts to feed its population
