Description
Abstract: This issue continues a theme of JCCP vol. 2, issue 1, with two articles derived from the ‘Max Weber and China: Culture, Law and Capitalism’ conference.2 One of the articles deals with the stock market, which is undoubtedly full of uncertainties and which Max Weber made clear is ‘not a club for ethical culture’. Using the 1921 Shanghai stock exchange bubble as a case study, Bryna Goodman examines a public controversy involving debate between individual businessmen and the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce over issues of economic development, freedom and national sovereignty.
