Abstract
Why business history and why China? What has the study of business structure and activities over time to contribute to an understanding of China's past and present condition? What might analyses utilizing the rich resources of Chinese history do to enrich the understanding of the history of business—surely fundamental to shaping modern civilization—in comparative and global terms rather than singularly Western ones? The first question is directly addressed in the essays to follow, which trace the ways in which Chinese business history has been pursued by scholars in both China and the West. Logically enough, since business history has heretofore been grounded in case studies limited largely to America and Europe, the second question has barely begun to engage the attention of the scholarly community itself.
