- Description 詳情
Historians know very little about the movements of silver within China for all of the Qing dynasty and yet some understanding of them is crucial for appreciating how the country fitted together as a monetary whole. They also mattered to the development of currency and banking in the last decades of the Qing dynasty and paved the way towards the economic boom described by Marie Claire Bergere as the “golden age of the Chinese bourgeoisie”. Set in the longer term, was that boom really a bubble financed by loose credit? Going forward into the 1930s and 1940s, was it surprising that runaway inflation eventually took over?
