Guanzi

The Guanzi is a large Chinese compilation of political, economic and philosophical writings named after Guan Zhong, minister of Duke Huan of Qi in the seventh century BCE. Most of it was written later by scholars of Qi, and it was edited by Liu Xiang in about 26 BCE into 86 chapters, of which 76 survive. It covers statecraft, state monopolies of salt and iron, agriculture and cosmology.
