Session Abstract

Chinese economic growth over the last twenty years has refueled debates about the social and cultural preconditions of economic success in the historical economies of Europe and China. Meanwhile, new research in this field is challenging long-standing and even more recent understandings of the relationship between culture and capitalism. This panel brings together experts on various sides of the debate to discuss their latest findings and the implications of those findings for our understandings of the Chinese and European economies, past and present.
