Summary "This is the second entry in a planned trilogy of books on how culture and ideology interacted with economic institutions, particularly legal ones, and how that interaction shaped the trajectory of Sino-European and Sino-Japanese economic divergence from the 18th Century to the early 20th. The first book, The Laws and Economics of Confucianism, was substantively completed in the summer of 2016-it was formally published in the fall of 2017-at which time I began to contemplate the possibility of expanding its core methodological framework onto a larger historical stage. It may have been somewhat foolish for an untenured junior scholar, two years out of graduate school, to plan for the long term in this fashion, but the idea that there is some sort of "grand strategy" behind the occasional mundanity of everyday work has given me much psychological comfort and a sense of direction over the years"-- Provided by publisher
