Features: Once, while someone was farming, they accidentally scattered seeds on their neighbor's land. To their surprise, the seeds grew into abundant fruits. So, they went to ask for the fruits. What do you think they did? Did they demand the fruits back or separate them? Neither. They went to promote their own seeds. The interdisciplinary research trend in modern economics has sparked controversy. Some even call it "economic imperialism." This book reflects on and analyzes this phenomenon. Although using modern economic theories and methods to analyze issues that traditionally fall outside the scope of economics may attract criticism, it often allows people to think and analyze from a different perspective, uncovering problems that traditional approaches might overlook and achieving results that traditional methods struggle to attain. Don't worry about modern economics encroaching on others' territory; it's just promoting its own essence.
