The Confusions of Pleasure (Timothy Brook) - review (831 words) |
 | The founder of the Ming dynasty, the Hongwu emperor, came from a peasant background and idealised autonomous, self-sufficient agrarian communities; the dynasty he founded, however, was to oversee the economic transformation of China. |
| Timothy Brook's study of this in The Confusions of Pleasure is more a cultural than an economic history, focusing on changing attitudes to trade and commerce and their effects on everyday life. |
| The Confusions of Pleasure will be a gold-mine for those curious about the historical underpinnings of Chinese commercial traditions — and the gap between the ideology and the reality of economic life under the Ming is reminiscent of modern China — but is recommended to anyone curious about other ways of viewing the world. |

| The scattered clumps of pale foamy cells seen in superficial sections through the scalp are sebaceous glands, and not to be confused with the foamy-looking discontinuous layer of theca interna cells encircling ovarian follicles. |
