Why Was the Late Imperial Chinese State so Weak?
清代的国家能力为何格外薄弱？
This talk is part of the Greenberg Distinguished Colloquium. 本活动是“格林伯格高端对话”之一。
活动介绍
The Event
This talk is based on a forthcoming book, titled The Ideological Foundations of the Qing Fiscal State. The book explains why state fiscal capacity in late imperial China was unusually weak—a mere fraction of what its main Eurasian competitors could muster, and dramatically weaker than what it was in earlier Chinese dynasties. It argues for an ideological explanation: following the highly idiosyncratic circumstances of Ming collapse, Qing elites adopted a unique ideological worldview that made raising taxes on agriculture politically impossible for over two centuries, even though the economy was more than strong enough to sustain major tax hikes. Taisu Zhang, Professor of Law at Yale Law School, will share his insights on June 17, followed by a Q&A session in both English and Chinese.
耶鲁大学法学院、历史系教授张泰苏的新书《清代财政国家的意识形态基础》即将问世。本书解释了清政府财政与行政能力逐步陷入窘境的深层次根源：清朝财政在总体上沿袭明制，但却建立在特殊的意识形态基础之上，以至于在两百多年间始终无法增加农业税收，即使农业经济增长的规模足以维持适量的增税，但在政治层面上却无法摆脱保守主义的桎梏。围绕这本新书，张泰苏教授将于北京时间6月17日晚8点在线做客耶鲁北京中心分享独到见解。观众可以在提问环节用英文或中文参与讨论。
