HIST 72.06 Business History of Modern China

This course explores China's transformation through business history, examining how enterprises have navigated the nation's blend of capitalism and single-party rule. It delves into cycles of prosperity and decline, from the Qing Dynasty to its current status as a global economic power. Using case studies, the course analyzes diverse actors — from family firms to foreign traders, ordinary workers to tech giants — to understand China's model of capitalism and socialism and its global impact.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course.

This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
