Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Chinese Farm Economy' is a pioneering study that provides an in-depth analysis of rural life and agricultural practices in China during the early 20th century. Written by John Lossing Buck, a prominent agricultural economist, this work remains a cornerstone for understanding the socio-economic foundations of the Chinese countryside. The book meticulously examines the structural and operational aspects of small-scale farming, offering detailed data on land utilization, labor, crop yields, and household income across various provinces.By applying statistical methods to the agrarian sector, Buck illuminates the challenges and resilience of the Chinese peasantry. The text explores the relationship between farm size and efficiency, the impact of tenancy, and the standard of living for rural families. As an essential historical resource, 'Chinese Farm Economy' offers scholars and students of economics, history, and Asian studies a clear window into the traditional systems that shaped one of the world's largest agricultural nations.
