    Chinese dynasties have a long history of utilizing corvee labor to supplement regular taxes(Needham, Science and Civilisation, 181.) However, Chinese men who had passed the examinations were exempt from corvee labor dues(Spence, 46). Thus, the aforementioned scholars who lost their degrees were now subject to corvee labor. This meant a larger pool of laborer available for government work. Incidentally, Ye Mengzhu also described the labor service that many members of his community underwent. In particular Mengzhu bemoaned the increasing number of individuals required for “‘the transportation of cloth’ and the ‘northern transportation of rice.’(Ebrey, 285) These individuals were subjected to harsh treatment from officials. This abuse could drive the transporters to bankruptcy. In this sense the Qing government was adding insult to injury. Not only were former degree holders forced into corvee labor, but they were forced into…

    Wealthy noble families began to gain extreme power as foolish and corrupt emperors led to a decrease in the government’s power. Wang Mang, a reformist official, took the Han court’s power and attempted to establish the Xin dynasty. However, he was killed before he could actually carry out the reforms he had planned. After his death, a strong leadership was established for some time. During this time, the court tried to redistribute land to the free farmers who had been forced to become tenants; and they also tried to decrease land taxes. Also, food production increased. But unease among the peasants continued due to weak and corrupt rules and the wealthy’s power over the land. Nomadic raids by the Xiongnu…

    Since the beginning of America’s democratic success in the late eighteenth century, countries around the globe have strived to mimic a form of government that reflects the freedom to be politically competitive. The overall successes of these democratic countries are what draw global attention. Yet even those countries who reflect the most democratic political atmospheres fail to fully encompass a legitimate liberal democracy due to such a reality being impossible. Though there is no true liberal democracy, there are still those countries within the world today that reflect various aspects of a growing democracy. Such democratic growth is subject to the…

    The Qing Dynasty

    The quick development in population in Qing dynasty not only is a crucial stage of the entire history of Chinese population changes but also serves as one of the main reasons of Qing`s ultimate collapse. From Qing’s establishment in 1644 to Qing’s destruction in 1911, population tripled from 150 to 500 million. Entering into Kang-Qian flourishing age in 1682, the dynasty began to stabilize and the economic development started to revitalize. Before Opium War broke out, especially from 1685 to 1840, China’s population grew at an unprecedented speed and for the first time, exceeded two hundred millions. As the population tripled and even quadrupled, land area being used merely doubled from 5 to 10 million. It is obvious that the growth of economy and agriculture could not feed the even faster growth of population. Such an imbalance between population growth and agricultural growth combined with various natural factors had led to a famine out of control, which trigger several of the first rebellions in mid to late Qing by the peasant…

    The subject of the book is the fact that all societies in the world, with rare exceptions and some delays and setbacks, are generally moving towards liberal democracy. Throughout the work, Fukuyama compares liberal democracy with other economic systems, highlighting why, perhaps, this particular one has the biggest chance of becoming the last one the human kind has ever known, putting in other words why is liberal democracy “the right one”. These highlights throughout the book are being mostly advocated with the help of ideas from 19th century philosophers such as Karl Marx, Georg W. H. Hegel and Friedrich Nietzsche. The title of the work is a composition of pair of these ideas such us Marx and Hagel’s “end of history” theory, and Nietzsche’s “Ubermensch” or concept of “the last man”.…

    The core problems of widespread poverty, growing inequality, and rapid population growth originate in the stagnation and retrogression of economic life in rural areas. Therefore, for development to take place sustainably, it has to include rural areas in general and the agricultural sector in particular. The Lewis two sector models provides a good example of a theory placing emphasis on industrial growth fueled by the agricultural sector through surplus labor and cheap food. Today development economists have come to realize that the agricultural sector in particular and rural economy in general must play an indispensable part in any strategy of economic development. China is one of the countries which put this into practice after the 1949 revolution when it embarked on its rural transformation. During the past 50 years, China's leaders experimented with various measures to develop the country's rural areas. In the pre 1978 period, these measures were usually implemented in the form of mass mobilization campaigns, associated with various political and ideological movements. After the 1978 reforms, the measures consisted of legal and institutional reforms, as well as large-scale infrastructure projects mainly by the central government. There are eight rural transformation strategies which were employed by China these were: Land reform 1949-1953, Collectivization 1953-1956, Great Leap Forward, Agricultural Communes 1957-1961, Damage control 1962-1965, The Cultural Revolution 1966-1976, First phase of economic reforms: introduction of family farming 1978-1984, Second reform phase: price and market liberalization 1985-1989, as well as the Recent reforms of structural improvements 1990 – Present. This paper will therefore seek to critically evaluate the above-mentioned strategies which were employed by China. It will also show that not all of these strategies were employed by the Chinese were favorable but nevertheless they toiled until they managed to develop their…
