Chinese Civil Society and Spontaneous Order: Native Tradition and Overseas Development - Hardcover

by Denggao Long (Author), Wei Yi (Author)

From native to overseas, from traditional to modern, this book explores the historical development and characteristics of traditional Chinese markets and their micro-entities. It investigates the development and evolution of factor markets and civil order, business management, and non-government organizations under the background of Chinese culture in a heterogeneous environment.

The first part of " Native Tradition" comprehensively examines the land tenure system and its transmutation and function in the context of traditional Chinese socio-economic perspectives. In the middle part of " Overseas Development," the study of native origin and overseas evolution is carried on and continued. From China to overseas, from history to reality, the management characteristics of Chinese entrepreneurs and their adaptation, choice, and growth in different environments are revealed. The third part, " Blend and Contrast," focuses on the collision and integration of modern China and the West from comparative studies of Chinese and Western economic history.
