Features: Early industrialization is not only an important issue in the study of world economic history but also a key topic in the study of modern Chinese economic history. The central question of this book is the early industrialization of a complete economic region formed by eight prefectures and one prefecture in the representative Jiangnan area, which is the historical development of Jiangnan industry in the three centuries before 1850. The author presents a fresh perspective on the characteristics of early Chinese industrialization, supplements the research gaps in the economic history of China during this period, and holds high academic value.
