Outline of Final Research Achievements

There were widely-held controversies over fishery, interest rates, banking and land-registration in seventeenth-century England. I revealed that the issues of these controversies were about how to imitate the Dutch advanced model and how to adjust and adopt it for the English economic growth. I finished the draft of an English book, wrote a book proposal for the publication and submitted it to a English publisher.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements
