Sui-Wai Cheung's study of the institutional history of copper coins in the Ming dynasty reveals how emperors and statesmen perceived and used the copper coins at their disposal. In this process, he uncovers the reality of the Sons of Heaven, showing that although Ming emperors seemed to have unlimited power, they could not afford the upkeep on their palace. In this revealing history of Ming China, Cheung argues that especially after the breakdown of the household registration system, the aim of the Ming coinage system was to create a new source of income in order to maintain the emperor's domain in Beijing.

"This book strengthens our understanding of the Indian manufacturing. It argues that structural transformation should be guided by the given factor endowments. The book undertakes a detailed empirical scrutiny to provide inputs for guiding the future industrial policy in India. The book recognises the differential structure of the organised and unorganised manufacturing with their distinguished response to the use of labour and capital. The analytical framework comprises of an economy-wide approach and structural relationships at the industry-level. The underlying sectoral interdependence highlights the job-creation potential of domestic manufacturing which spreads into the non-manufacturing sectors through the essential accounting of the embodied effects. The impact of import utilisations underscores the leakages in the domestic economy in terms of the employment forgone and capital use, thereby highlighting the need to strengthen domestic production. The book clearly identifies the labour- and capital-intensive categories of manufacturing for empirical investigations. A comprehensive read on labour and capital use in Indian manufacturing, this book in the series Critical Political Economy of South Asia will appeal to the scholars and researchers of economics, applied industrial economics, Indian economy, and business studies. It will also be of interest to professionals and practioners in policy circles and research think tanks"-- Provided by publisher.

This Element proposes an alternative framework for rethinking the role of finance in serving the real economy from the perspective of New Structural Financial Economics. It challenges the conventional wisdom that developing countries should take the financial structure of developed countries as the benchmark and financial structure does not matter in spurring long-run economic development. As a sub-discipline of New Structural Economics, New Structural Financial Economics has three tenets. First, examining the appropriate financial structure should take an economy's factor endowment structure as the starting point of analysis, which identifies its latent comparative advantage. Second, the appropriate financial structure is determined by the financing needs of the prevailing production structure. Third, a government should provide development financing to address market failures, and make tailored financial regulations in line with the characteristics of specific financial arrangements.
