Features: This book has made significant creative contributions in both format and perspective. The viewpoints are clear, the data is rich, and the theoretical depth is strong, achieving a high academic level. Based on research findings in academia, this book breaks away from the traditional methods of writing economic history, which followed chronological order or systems such as land institutions, agriculture and industry, commerce, or tax and labor systems. Instead, it adopts new methods and perspectives to systematically explore the economic system and operations of China's feudal society. It focuses on eight key economic issues: the relationships among various economic components in the development process of feudal society, the relationship between natural economy and commodity economy, the connection between government macro-decisions and agriculture, industry, commerce, and currency, regional imbalances in economic development, the dynamics between monopoly and competition, the relationship between science and technology and the socio-economic context, and the interplay between the emergence of capitalism and the long-lasting feudal production relations. The book has made significant creative contributions in both format and perspective. The viewpoints are clear, the data is rich, and the theoretical depth is strong, achieving a high academic level.
