Catalogued output
Books and published writings, 1955–2026
These are catalogued publications carrying the name — editions and printings, distinct from the works they contain and from writing about the subject. The 2010s are the densest part of the run, with 19 titles, and that concentration is a fact about what the registers have catalogued rather than a judgement on the work itself. They belong to a run of 62 titles in all, from 1955 to 2026. A selection is set out below and the complete run may be opened beneath it.
60 editions carry dates between 1955 and 2026
The run opens with Xing fu de lu and closes with Turn Money into Wealth
