Of Coconuts and Kings: The Political Economy of an Export Crop

The Philippines is the world's leading coconut exporter. The benefits of this trade for Filipino producers have been circumscribed by declining terms of trade in the world market and by highly unequal distribution of coconut-sector income at home. A case study of the Philippine coconut trade illustrates the crucial importance of linkages between wealth and power in determining the size and distribution of income in export agriculture. ‘The time has come,’ the Walrus said, ‘To talk of many things: of shoes — and ships — and sealing wax — Of cabbages — and — kings — And why the sea is boiling hot — And whether pigs have wings.’ Carroll (1922: 186)     

阮刻本《毛诗正义》引文校证

清阮元校刻的《十三经注疏》本《毛诗正义》,堪称善本。但在校刻时,因各种条件的限制,并未达到尽善。阮本《毛诗正义》结构复杂,有谱、序、经、传、笺、疏以及附释音、校勘记等多种层次。其中传、笺、疏以及附释音、校勘记中涉及多种古籍的引文,这些引文与原书相较,经论证：有不少阮本误引影响到阅读;有阮本不误原书今本反误。原书已佚者通过旁证和传统小学方法作校正。
