Query: A good introductory to Huang's historiography.

For those who have never read Ray Huang's work before, this collection of essays is an excellent introduction to various research specialties of Huang. They include: Taxation and Government Finance in the 16th century Ming Dynasty; commerce in Ming China; captialism, etc. The collection also includes an essay on Macro History - a thesis that cost Huang's career in the Ivy League circle.The content in this book is very repetitive. Otherwise, I am quite impressed by the depth of Huang's analysis as to why captialism had failed to take root in China; how China had come to attain a revolution in its fiscal management and why such fiscal revolution, attained in the 1980s, is central to China's stability.
