A Chinese economic revolution: rural entrepreneurship in the twentieth century
Summary. This historical study traces rural entrepreneurship in twentieth-century China across three distinct phases: early industrial development in textile production, the planned economy period, and the transition back to market mechanisms. The work examines how rural entrepreneurs built marketing networks, managed communal resources, and adapted their enterprises through wartime disruption and major economic system shifts, revealing entrepreneurial legacies that persist in contemporary Chinese firms.
