Description:
This book is a comprehensive introduction to the economic policies and
practices in Western Xia (1038–1227). To economic historians and expert
Tangutologists alike, it sketches the outer shapes and inner lives of the Tanguts
and their society, offering an interwoven account of economic norms and
laws in speech, and economic activities and experiences in action. The key
to this productive tension between the macroscope of institutions and the
micro-history of individuals is the author’s synthetic reading of traditional
historical sources: law codes, chronicles, and reference books, in the light of
social, legal, and economic records: accounts, contracts, and registers.
