Unlike European merchants, their Sino-colleagues have long been regarded as certain social pariahs after pre-Qin period, despite the fortune they made. The key mission of this monograph is to investigate whether the standing of merchants in the Ming Empire has been improved compared with their predecessors. Generally, their status is reflected in state-merchant relationship and their role in the market, which can be found in miscellaneous economic activities such as market monopoly, commercial taxation, international trade, and consumption.\u003cbr\u003eThis book aims to be of relevance to students and researchers interested in early modern history, eastern commerce, Ming merchants, and contemporary global affairs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tengda Hua\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030771911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030771911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.72d","brand":"Tengda Hua","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080567025919,"sku":"9783030771911","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_077d3d0d-7800-4479-89ff-2d1fccd39139.jpg?v=1685487523","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/merchants-market-and-monarchy-tengda-hua-9783030771911","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
