Kenneth Pomeranz’s work has also helped me to understand periphery creation as topic in the remodelling of the biosphere. In The Making of a Hinterland: State, Society, and Economy in Inland North China, 1853-1937 (UC Press, 1993), he explains the systematic underdevelopment of an internal rural periphery with profound implications for the biosphere.
