I'd say it just is a slightly awkward way of arguing that the chain of causality is beliefs -> institutions -> economic performance.
Maybe I am misreading this but how can economic institutions such as property rights only be significant insofar as they are a "proxy through which social culture and political ideology influenced the trajectory of Qing economic development"? http://www.international.ucla.edu/ccs/event/12742 pic.twitter.com/YJALLfPKpY

perhaps so. But I think it is a much stronger claim that the author realizes. I am certain that de facto property rights in Ming/Qing China had significant economic consequences which were independent of the social culture and political ideology.

What I mean by that is that this is a "bundling" explanation where it seems that you explain one thing by its results. It seems very weird.

What do they think institutionalists are saying, that property rights influence growth unmediated by what people think and how they act? I might disagree with North-ians on some points, but I don't claim they ever said THAT.

Isn’t it about how the ‘rights’ or gains from them are distributed?

exactly; it's not that property rights don't matter (they may be the only thing that matters) but that variation in property rights is entirely determined by culture

Every time I think I've read the most R H T Green tweet possible, I read another R H T Green tweet and am corrected.

I probably wasn't clear enough! I also think culture is an extremely important deep determinant of economic institutions. My problem with the original passage was largely with "insofar".
