Manslaughter, Markets, and Moral Economy: Violent Disputes over Property Rights in Eighteenth-Century China (Cambridge Studies in Chinese History, Literature and Institutions) Book

Thomas Buoye examines the impact of large-scale economic change on social conflict in eighteenth-century China. He draws upon a large number of documented cases of violent property disputes to recreate the social tensions fostered by the development of property rights, an unprecedented population explosion, and the increasing strain on land and resources.
