China's ascension to the position of the world's second-largest economy is undoubtedly the most remarkable development in the global economy since the year 2000. Spanning China's two turbulent centuries from 1800, Volume II intricately charts this transformative process, witnessing the ancient empire's metamorphosis into a formidable global power. This groundbreaking volume, for the first time, brings together the pioneering insights of international scholars across various dimensions of economic history, offering an authoritative and comprehensive overview of this turbulent and dramatic transformation. In numerous instances, it presents a fundamental reevaluation of key themes in Chinese economic history, including the influence of ideology, the emergence of new institutions, the importance of human capital and public infrastructure, the impact of Western and Japanese imperialism, the role of external trade and investment, and the evolution of living standards during both the pre-Communist and Communist eras. The volume comprises seven vital chapters that delve into the Mao and reform eras, providing a critical historical perspective that connects the past with the present and envisions the future.
