Opis

This is the first published study in English of Russian trade and commercial relations with China from the Treaty of Kiakhta (1727) to the early nineteenth century. It is a study in Russian economic and entrepreneurial history, focusing on Russian state economic policy and activity concerning China. It dwells at length on the state monopolies, but at the same time private trade with China and the Chinese is also fully explored.
