Community, Trade, and Networks: Southern Fujian Province from the Third to the Thirteenth Century (Cambridge Studies in Chinese History, Literature and Institutions)

"By ingenious use of local gazetteers, maps and data on population registration, taxation, bridges, etc., Hugh R. Clark attempts to document the economic growth and increase in population....Although many of his results are tentative, he convincingly argues that Quanzhou experienced a great degree of commercialization of the local economy that China was previously thought to have reached only by the Ming and Qing dynasties."Hugh R. Clark is the author of 'Community, Trade, and Networks: Southern Fujian Province from the Third to the Thirteenth Century (Cambridge Studies in Chinese History, Literature and Institutions)', published 1991 under ISBN 9780521390293 and ISBN 052139029X.
