张泰苏教授获奖英文专著
内容介绍How states develop the capacity to tax is a question of fundamental importance to political science, legal theory, economics, sociology, and history. Increasingly, scholars believe that China's relative economic decline in the 18th and 19th centuries was related to its weak fiscal institutions and limited revenue. This book argues that this fiscal weakness was fundamentally ideological in nature. Belief systems created through a confluence of traditional political ethics and the trauma of dynastic change imposed unusually deep and powerful constraints on fiscal policymaking and institutions throughout the final 250 years of China's imperial history. Through the Qing example, this book combs through several interaction dynamics between state institutions and ideologies. The latter shapes the former, but the former can also significantly reinforce the political durability of the latter. In addition to its historical analysis of ideological politics, this book makes a major contribution to the longstanding debate on Sino-European divergence.
本书探讨了国家如何发展税收能力这一根本性问题，涉及政治学、法律理论、经济学、社会学和历史等多个领域。现如今，有越来越多的学者认为，中国在18世纪和19世纪的相对经济衰退与其薄弱的财政制度和有限的税收收入密切相关。本书提出，这种财政弱点的根源在于意识形态。由传统政治伦理和朝代更替带来的创伤共同塑造的信仰体系，对财政政策制定和制度运行施加了异常深远而强大的限制，影响了中国帝制历史最后250年。通过清朝的例子，本书梳理了国家制度与意识形态之间的多重互动。意识形态塑造了国家制度，但国家制度也能显著强化意识形态的政治持久性。除了对历史上意识形态政治的分析，本书还为中欧经济分流这一学界长期争论的问题提供了新的视角。
本书内容目录
作者张泰苏教授简介Taisu Zhang is a Professor of Law at Yale Law School and works on comparative legal and economic history, private law theory, and contemporary Chinese law and politics. He is the author of two books, The Ideological Foundations of Qing Taxation: Belief Systems, Politics, and Institutions (Cambridge University Press, 2023), and The Laws and Economics of Confucianism: Kinship and Property in Pre-Industrial China and England (Cambridge University Press, 2017). These are the first two entries in a planned trilogy of books on the institutional and cultural origins of early modern economic divergence. He is currently writing two other books: the first, The Authoritarian Functions of Law (And Their Application to Contemporary China), is under contract with Harvard University Press and examines the political and socioeconomic logic of legalization in China. The second, tentatively titled The Cultural-Legal Origins of Economic Divergence, completes the trilogy mentioned above. Zhang's academic articles and essays have recently appeared in journals such as the Journal of Legal Studies, the Journal of Legal Analysis, the Yale Law Journal, and the Harvard Law Review.

张泰苏教授前一本获奖英文专著
内容介绍The Laws and Economics of Confucianism: Kinship and Property in Preindustrial China and England connects cultural history, legal history, and institutional economics to present a novel argument about why preindustrial economic development in China and England followed different paths. In Late Imperial and Republican China, Neo-Confucian social hierarchies, where advanced age and generational seniority were the primary determinants of sociopolitical status, allowed many poor but senior individuals to possess status and political authority disproportionate to their wealth. In contrast, in early modern England, where society was far more 'individualist,' landed wealth was a strict prerequisite for high status and authority, which essentially excluded low-income individuals from secular positions of prestige and leadership. Zhang argues that this social difference significantly influenced property institutions and agricultural production.《儒家思想的法律与经济学：前工业化时期中国与英国的亲属关系与财产》一书结合了文化史、法律史和制度经济学，提出了一个新颖的论点，解释了为什么中国和英国在前工业化时期的经济发展走上了不同的道路。在晚期帝制和民国时期，新儒家社会等级制度占据主导地位，在这一制度下，年龄和辈分是决定社会政治地位的主要标准。这使得许多贫穷但年长的个体能够拥有与其财富不相称的社会地位和政治权力。相比之下，早期现代英国的社会更加“个人主义”，拥有土地的财富是获得高社会地位和权力的严格前提，这基本上将低收入人群排除在世俗的威望和领导职位之外。张泰苏认为，这种社会差异对财产制度和农业生产产生了深远的影响。本书内容目录
