[Title] Chinese History in Economic Perspective [Author] Thomas G. Rawski [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 1992 [Read] 2012/09/08 [Review] 
Fairly technical, largely not of interest to non-specialists. Some of the papers captured my interest: the demographic analysis revealing very high infanticide rates and mortality patterns of females was quite interesting, and some of the papers revealed a better integrated and more sophisticated Chinese market economy than I had expected, with less income inequality or dysfunctionality than one gets the picture of when reading of pre-WWII warlordism and civil war. (I read the online version.)
