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. However, it is important to note that China's prominence in the global economy has a long and storied history. Since 500 BCE, China has fostered a dynamic market economy and established an enduring imperial state, which have contributed to its precocious economic growth.
Despite the similarities, Chinese society and government exhibited distinctive institutions that shaped unique patterns of economic development. The six chapters of Part I of this volume explore various aspects of livelihood, organization of production and exchange, the role of the state in economic development, the evolution of market institutions, and the emergence of trans-Eurasian trade from antiquity to 1000 CE.
Part II, consisting of twelve thematic chapters, spans the late imperial period from 1000 to 1800 and provides a comprehensive survey of diverse fields of economic history. These fields include environment, demography, rural and urban development, factor markets, law, money, finance, philosophy, political economy, foreign trade, human capital, and living standards.
By examining these chapters, readers gain a deeper understanding of China's economic development throughout its history, its unique institutions, and the factors that have contributed to its success in the global economy.
