Törvény és termőtalaj: politikai gazdaságtan az ókori Kínában
Law and Fertile Land: Political Economy in Ancient China

Summary/Abstract: As it is observable in virtually any feudal society, the cultivation, distribution and lease of fertile land that is under the jurisdiction of the state is a central interest of said state. From this point of view, it is no surprise then that it was the same in ancient China, but as it was highlighted during the so-called “Asian mode of production” debates, this surfaced in different ways – compared to the west – due to the specific historical circumstances and philosophical views of feudal society in China. This essay aims to grasp and present the most important aspects in their own historical and philosophical contexts based on three classics of ancient Chinese legalist philosophy.
