The Foreign Staple Trade of China in the Pre-Modern Era
Abstract
studies of the trade of pre-modern China have focused on domestic trade.1 By comparison, foreign trade, especially the staple trade (the purchase and sale of goods in bulk), which had an equally long history, has been neglected.2 The reasons for the neglect vary, from lack of data to theoretical bias derived from the seeming incompatibility of sustained foreign trade with the lack of specialization and underdeveloped commercialization and, ultimately, capitalism in China. Immanuel Wallerstein, for example, assumes that in pre-modern times

In the citing paper
“In 1520-1650, China's nominal price index for rice increased 2.6 times hand in hand with a three-fold rise in the general price level (Yu 2000: 788; Deng 1997: 176-8; for regional changes, see Wang 1992: 40-7 and Marks 1991: 102). This represents an inflation of 3.8 percent per decade.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
