This dissertation began with a question: what does it mean to say or grasp "the economy"? This dissertation examines it examines on-the-ground trading, mining, and money lending between Russian and Qing subjects in Qing Mongolian territories and southeastern Siberia, primarily, though not exclusively, during the years 1860 -- 1911. This dissertation uses archival records from Mongolia, the Russian Federation, and the People's Republic of China, in addition to travel accounts, economic surveys, gazetteers, and periodicals. Combining Chinese, Manchu, Mongolian, and Russian primary sources, it provides a trans-imperial examination of both how quotidian trade was carried out as well as the broader intellectual and political contexts that shaped the parameters of economic life. A bourgeoning labor market developed in Mongolia in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The legalization of Russian trade provided new labor opportunities for Mongolians and Russian alike, particularly in working in transportation, wool washing, and mining. In addition to the transportation industry examines cases of gold-mining, Russian-Mongolian debt, and Buddhist monasteries' roles in facilitating trade.

520 $a While historians have analyzed how mathematical representation was essential to the emergence of "the economy" as a distinct field of knowledge, with quantifiable representations forming the foundation of how modern states "see," this dissertation reveals how Qing policies that took Mongolian livelihood to be based almost solely on subsistence pastoralism rendered most Mongolian transactions outside state sight. By examining how economic life was regulated and conducted further back in the nineteenth century, before "the economy" became an explicit object of concern, this dissertation traces a longer genealogy of economic knowledge. This lead to the conclusion that states are as powerful in their capacity -- and willingness -- to ignore as to intervene, to remake, and to classify. They are capable of "seeing" as well as "not seeing." The dissertation concludes that this legacy of non-sight is critical to understanding the reforms of the early twentieth century and the development of twentieth-century economic knowledge in the Qing -- Russian borderlands.
