摘　　要：长期以来,世界经济史研究一直就资本主义经济是否只出现在西方争论不休。刘仁威(Andrew B.Liu)的《茶业战争:中国与印度的一段资本主义史》选取18世纪中期到20世纪中期最具代表性的世界性商品——茶,通过分析茶叶在晚清和英属印度的种植、加工和贸易,一方面呈现了当时中国和印度茶业如何深度参与世界资本主义经济,另一方面论证了两国资本主义经济的地方性特征,以及二者如何在竞争中走上不同的道路。Among the research circles studying global economic history,there has been a long debate on whether or not the capitalist economy only arose in the Western context.The Tea War:A History of Capitalism in China and India,written by Andrew B.Liu,demonstrates that the tea industries in late Qing China and British India from the mid-18th century to the mid-20th century were parts of the world capitalist economy.Through examining the cultivation,processing,and trading of tea in China and India,the book not only demonstrates how the tea industries in China and India participated in the global capitalist economy,but also discusses the localized characteristics and how the two major tea economies chose different paths in competition with each other.
