  • Descrição: [...]he does not explain specifically 185 book reviews what the historical community of Liaotung (which he defines as stretching east from Shankaiguan and west from the northwestern part of the Korean peninsula. [...]if an historical community can be defined as different from a state as the author argues, can Liaotung be understood as an historical community separate from those of Korea or China? A further defect is that the discussion of the post-Song period, which is not the authors major field, is too general and reflects only existing research, and there is too much overlapping in the summarizing of existing research findings. [...]he combines qualitative analysis of institutions with quantitative estimates of outputs in order to give us a more systematic picture of Jiangnans industries than any other author has attempted. [...]technology and management improvements led to increasing labor productivity; Li speaks in particular about the economic contribution of education on labor productivity, both specialized training for weaving and 187 book reviews general education at the elite and mass levels (43953). Markovits elaborates three models of sexual economy ascetic, permissive, and intermediate, which varied according to local circumstances. [...]in Russian Central Asia, merchants avoided sexual involvement with local Muslim women to ensure the transmission of inheritances to Shikarpur, while more of the merchants took concubines in Chinese-controlled Sinkiang because the local women were not in a position to claim a share of the inheritance.
