Description

This book provides an important contribution to the economic history of modern China.

It examines the history of the coal mining industry - one of China's largest and most important - from the beginnings of modernisation around 1895 to the start of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937.

It addresses questions of both economic and socio-political history and contributes to our knowledge of many aspects of early twentieth-century Chinese history.

It examines the slow growth of the modern sector of the Chinese economy and considers the effects of foreign investment and ownership, the supply of capital, the technology of production, the availability of local entrepreneurship and compares the evolution of the Chinese coal industry with development elsewhere.

This book will be of interest to those concerned with the problems of industrial growth in general as well as to specialists on modern China.
