The Fate of the Taiping Rebellion by Nuno Palma (Manchester) | #QH Webinar Series

Title: The Fate of the Taiping Rebellion

Speaker: Nuno Palma, Professor of Economics, University of Manchester

Nuno Palma and his co-authors show, using a new dataset, that scholars educated in Confucian academies became a key force in the suppression of the Taiping. The civil service examinations system helped maintain political stability and associated rents by endowing elites with a stake in the Qing status quo.

Nuno’s co-authors: Chenyang Qi (Tsinghua) and Jinlin Wei (HKUST)

Discussant: Debin Ma, Professor of Economic History, University of Oxford
