Summary:

"Explores the politics of representation during the Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE), a pivotal time when China was asserting imperialist power on the Eurasian continent and expanding its local and long-distance markets. By juxtaposing well-known texts with recently excavated literary and visual materials, the author elaborates a new literary and cultural approach to Chinese economic thought"-- Provided by publisher.
