ECONOMIC TRENDS IN THE LATE CH'lNG EMPIRE, 1870 - I9II
No satisfactory synthetic treatment of China's modern economic history has beenpublished in any language. A two-volume Hong Kong collection of photolithographed reprints of forty-six articles on modern economic and social history published in the People's Republic and Taiwan during 1953-67 gives some indication of the state of the field: Chung-kuo chin san-pai-nien she-hui ching-chi shih lun-chi (Collected articles on China's social and economic history in the last 300 years). Twenty-one important older articles originally published in the journal Chung-kuo she-hui ching-chi shih chi-k'an (Chinese Social and Economic History Review) between 1932 and 1949 have also been conveniently reprinted: Chung-kuo chin-tai she-hui ching-chi shih lun-chi (Collected articles on China's modern social and economic history).
Published sources for the economy in the late Ch'ing period include two large collections of documents photographically reproduced from the archives of the Tsungli Yamen and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Chung-yang yenchiu- yuan chin-tai-shih yen-chiu-so (Academia Sinica, Institute of Modern History), Hai-fang tang (Archives on coastal defence), which cover the purchase of foreign weapons and the establishment of arsenals and machine shops, telegraphs and railways in the period 1861-1911; and idem, K'uang-wu tang (Archives on mining affairs) for the years 1865-1911.
