Product Information
"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." ShermanCochran, Hu Shih Professor of History, Cornell University
David Faure is University Lecturer in Modern Chinese History and Fellow, St Antony's College, Oxford; and currently Professor of History at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
