Brook, Timothy <br/><br/>
The price of collapse : the little ice age and the fall of Ming China 

 - Princeton : Princeton University Press, 2023 
<br/><br/> Timothy Brook is professor emeritus of history at the University of British Columbia and a fellow of the British Academy. 
<br/><br/> In 1644, after close to three centuries of relative stability and prosperity, the Ming dynasty collapsed. Many historians attribute its demise to the Manchu invasion of China, but the truth is far more profound. The Price of Collapse provides an entirely new approach to the economic and social history of China, exploring how global climate crisis spelled the end of Ming rule.
