Summary:

"This in-depth study of Nationalist tariff policy fundamentally challenges the widely accepted idea that the key to the Communist seizure of power in China lay in the incompetence of Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government. It argues instead that during the second Sino-Japanese War, China's international trade, the government's tariff revenues, and its fiscal policy and state-making project all collapsed."-- [Provided by publisher]
