Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

I congratulate the authors for daring to use their careful quantative work to expres bold, provocative theses about Chinese society, past and present. This is one of the best contributions to Chinese social and economic history we have seen in a long time.--Peter C. Perdue "Journal of Asian Studies "

Reseña del editor:

This work presents evidence about the historical and contemporary Chinese population behaviour that overturns much of the received wisdom about the differences between China and the West first voiced by Malthus, who described a China in which early and universal marriage ensured high fertility and higher demographic responsiveness to economic circumstances.
