I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it. It presents this era of chinese history in a new light (at least for me). The only thing I wished for it to do which it does not would be a greater economic analysis, but that is a personal preference.

Interesting subject matter investigated by an incredibly important economist - but honestly, the writing is convoluted, it's hard to keep track of the chapter's overall point and role in the book, and the red line of the whole is blurry. Some eras are dealt with more in the fashion of economic history, others truly only deal with the history of thought. Context is sometimes given, sometimes not. Overall: confused and packaged a bit boring.
