Chapter 7, “Managing Prosperity: The Political Economy of a Commercial Empire,” looks at the policy choices of the Jiankang regime that contributed to commercial prosperity, including the design of the capital city, the fiscal system, the remittance system, and monetary and trade policies. It shows that these policy decisions were closely tied to the interests of key groups within the ruling class, particularly the imperial house and leading military figures, who frequently had considerable private commercial interests. It also explores the link between these policies and the patronage of Buddhism. The system is compared to that of the Roman Empire and South and Southeast Asian regimes. Widely criticized as “corruption” by historians trained in the Sinitic tradition (as well as by modern ones), the pro-commercial political economy would be better understood as a normalized part of the empire’s operations.
