China Upside Down
Many scholars have noted the role of China's demand for silver in the emergence of the modern world. This book discusses the interaction of this demand and the early-nineteenth-century Latin American independence movements, changes in the world economy, the resulting disruptions in the Qing dynasty, and the transformation from the High Qing to modern China. Man-houng Lin shows how the disruption in the world's silver supply caused by the turmoil in Latin America and subsequent changes in global markets led to the massive outflow of silver from China and the crisis of the Qing empire. During the first stage of this dynastic crisis, traditional ideas favoring plural centers of power became more popular than they ever had been. As the crisis developed, however, statist ideas came to the fore. Even though the Qing survived with the resumption of the influx of Latin American silver, its status relative to Japan in the East Asian order slipped. The statist inclination, although moderated to a degree in the modern period, is still ascendant in China today. These changes--Qing China's near-collapse, the beginning of its eclipse by Japan in the East Asian order, and shifting notions of the proper relationship between state and market and between state and society--led to "China upside down." 引自http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/LINCHI.html -

鸦片战争常被认为是传统中国由盛转衰的转折点,此书根据时人观点及更多分析指出,鸦片战争前后中国因拉丁美洲白银减产而起的危机,比战争本身带来的影响更深。拉丁美洲白银的骤减几乎颠覆了清王朝,其稍后的骤增,虽协助清廷平定相当因白银不足所引发的大规模动乱,但也使得中国的地位相对较不依赖美洲白银的东亚邻邦邻夷。在王权备受挑战之际,支持多元权威并存的传统思想涌现,于王权再行稳固之时,绝对权威的思想抬头而留存至今。全书可供了解世界货币史、清朝中衰史、清朝经学史、清朝文学史及中西政治经济思想比较之参考。
