Chapter 1 What Kind of Book is This? -- Chapter 2 The World that Trade Created -- Chapter 3 The Military Revolution in the Era of Early Economic Globalization -- Chapter 4 The Big Shuffle: theEast Asian World in the Era of Early Economic Globalization -- Chapter 5 Fighting on Sea and Land: International Conflicts in East Asia in the Era of Early Economic Globalization -- Chapter 6Strategy and Armies: National Security in the Late Ming and the Military Reform Campaign -- Chapter 7 A Time of Great Strife: Four Major Wars in East Asia in the Late Ming -- Chapter 8 Concluding Remarks: The Writing of History is Terrifying.

This book seeks to reconcile the dual forces of war and economic globalization in tracing China's early modernity. For late imperial China, there were two forms of encounter with the West; the guns of invading Europeans, and the ledgers by which trade between China and the West was measured and regulated. Even today, China's reactions to the West oscillate between business-driven openness and military paranoia. In this intellectual tour de force, Bozhong Li, one of China's preeminent intellectual and economic historians, traces the unprecedented transition that led China into the modern world; the book will be of value for economists, historians, and sinophiles alike.
