A Comparative Study of Rural Credit in Pre-industrial China and England

There was a widely existing conventional credit in the rural economy of China and England before the industrialization.And rural credit became an essential component of rural economy.However,rural credit differed in the historical background,way of expressing itself,development status and functional flow of the changes in China and England.There was a sharp contrast between the traditional usury market in rural China in the 1920s and 1930s in which people were making a living,and the modern credit market in rural England before the industrialized revolution in which people were to invest manufacturing.This fact suggests that it is a true reflection of social transition of rural China and England from some aspect.
