In classic sociology theory, the putting-out system in handcraft production was regarded as traditional and inefficient. In the context of Republican China, it was believed that this kind of household-based production system would have totally failed in competition with the factory system of machinery production. However, this book exhibits the historical fact that the putting-out system was booming in handcraft textile production and subsequently provides an explanation to this phenomenon from the perspectives of institutional analysis and quantitative modeling. With rich county-level data and comprehensive analysis, this book is valuable for both researchers, academics and students in economics and social history studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: The Smithian Growth or Involution Growth?; Handicraft Industry and Institutional Change: Literature Review; Proto-industrialization in Industrial Era: A historical study about cotton textile industry in North China; \"Involution\" and \"Industrialization\"  -  Investigation of Cotton Textile Industry in the South of Yangtze River; Analysis on the Institutional Change and the Number of Rural Industrialization; Putting-out System and the Prosperity of Rural Homespun Industry; Conclusion: Commercialization, Institutional Change and Rural Industrialization.","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091897839959,"sku":"9789814569910","price":61.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/institutional-change-and-rural-industrialization-in-china-the-putting-out-system-in-handicraft-industry-in-late-qing-and-early-republic-period-9789814569910","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
