"College-level collections strong in Asian history and culture, especially those with powerful business holdings, must have An Introduction to the Economic History of China, which provides a combined history of Chinese culture, Marxism, and economic trends from ancient to modern times. Here's a primer that would do well as assigned college reading for an introductory course on the topic, packed with interpretations of economic history trends, changing perspectives, and changing influences."--Midwest Book ReviewMore details
