Fat Sharing Game in Tang Dynasty
About This Novel
This book analyzes the rise and fall of the Tang Empire from a unique economic perspective, deconstructing three hundred years of dynasty history into a cruel game surrounding power rent. The book vividly demonstrates the hereditary privileges of the Guanlong Group, the emerging bureaucracy spawned by the imperial examination system, the military power of the Jiedushi envoys, the fiscal changes triggered by the Two Taxes Law, the Shence Army controlled by the eunuchs, and the underground economy composed of private salt dealers, revealing how these interest groups carve up the empire's wealth through loopholes in the system. The author uses "rent-seeking theory" as a key to decipher the secret distribution mechanism of power and interests under the appearance of a prosperous age, and presents a unique interpretation of the history of the Tang Dynasty.
