The Shanghai Capitalists and the Nationalist Government information
1980 book by Parks Coble
The Shanghai Capitalists and the Nationalist Government, 1927-1937 is a non-fiction book by Parks Coble, published in 1980 by Harvard University Press. It is about the relationship between Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang (KMT) government and businesspeople in the Republic of China (1912-1949).
According to the book, there were tensions in the relationship between the two parties that was left out of then-mainstream accounts of a tight relationship between those parties that was common in both left-wing and right-wing views.[1] The idea that the businesspeople were allied with the KMT, was something Coble described as the "alliance thesis".[2] Coble concluded that, instead, the KMT controlled the businesspeople rather than the reverse,[3] and the book also argues that the military was what propped up the KMT instead of the businesspeople.[4] Shannon R. Brown of the University of Maryland Baltimore County argued that the work is "mildly revisionist" due to contradicting previous conventional wisdom.[5]
According to Lynn T. White III, the book mainly focuses on the political sphere and has some content about the economy of this period.[6]
