I am interested in the socio-economic history of Ming-Qing China, in other words, it is Capitalism that I have to deal with. In my D.Phil. thesis, I study the Ming salt ticket and explore the rise and fall of the public credit market in seventeenth century China. Capitalism is not only about rational calculation on the individual basis, it can also involve massive violence on a global scale. I therefore find it necessary to adopt a comparative approach in studying the economic development, social transformation, and military conflict in both China and the West in the last 500 years.
