The Mandarin-capitalists from Nanyang:
Overseas Chinese Enterprise In the Modernization of China, 1893 - 1911
Michael R Godley
Although today the investment by overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia (Nanyang) in Chinese industry is well recognised, an earlier phase of similar participation has been mainly forgotten. Godley's book looks back to the final days of the Ching dynasty when there was a similar encouragement and response from emigrant Chinese to help with the modernisation of their former homeland. Nanyang Chinese not only invested in industry but also took up Chinese Government positions. 222 pages. Please see the scan of the contents page for further details.
