This book examines the westernisation movement in modern Chinese History, in the latter 19th century and the economic impact on manufacturing and enterprise evolution. It examines the rise, development, and performance of this movement on both the micro and macro-levels. This book reveals achievements in technology transfer without political changes, which set the limits for the westernisation movement. It evaluates the link between the westernisation movement and China’s economic reforms after 1978, and the factors that may have constrained the development of economic thinking in China. The book provides useful insights into how Chinese economic thinking transitioned, and is a valuable contribution to the debate on how the early westernisation movement in China caused a change in consumer thinking. It will be of interest to academics in economic history and those interested in the development of modern China and the emergence of manufacturing and entrepreneurship in China.
