- Summary:
- "The first English translation of Li Bozhong's pioneering study, An Early Modern Economy in China uses sophisticated analysis to reconstruct the GDP of the Yangzi Delta. In this innovative economic history, Li provides a basis for understanding for the Delta's economy, an area of unprecedented growth in modern times. Using careful quantitative research Li carefully reconstructs the economies of the region, combining three methods of estimating GDP: output, income and expenditure. The result reveals the structure and level of income and production in this highly commercialized and urbanized part of China, establishing a benchmark for future reconstruction's of regional economies through GDP. This is a landmark text in the field of economic history which has had a great impact understanding the Chinese economic history in global perspective"-- Provided by publisher.
