Japan, China, and the Growth of the Asian International Economy, 1850-1949

by Kaoru Sugihara (Editor)

Overview

Modern Asian economic history has often been written in terms of Western impact and Asia's response to it. This volume argues that the growth of intra-regional trade, migration, and capital and money flows was a crucial factor that determined the course of East Asian economic development.
