Features: "A stone from a distant mountain can be used to polish jade." In the past, we were very good at absorbing others' material achievements, but when it came to absorbing the spiritual achievements that suited us, we were not as successful. Lu Xun's advocacy of "cultural borrowing" still holds significant relevance for us today. Moreover, many theories and ideas of Western economic masters are part of our shared human spiritual wealth, and we have every right to study and draw inspiration from them. To date, we have not found any country or nation in the world that has surpassed the market economy to achieve a path of prosperous and civilized development. On the contrary, we know that all developed countries and nations in the world today have achieved their prosperity precisely because they have consistently adhered to developing their own market economies. Of course, political democratization is also very important, as it is essential to ensure that the market economy does not deviate from the right track. For us intellectuals of this generation, we have every reason to feel proud and fortunate for our ancient nation, which has endured so much. We have finally, at the turn of the 20th century, broken free from the heavy historical shackles and ideological constraints, and found the bright path to national rejuvenation—namely, developing a socialist market economy and building a political civilization. This book is a valuable read for those who wish to study and draw inspiration from the theories and ideas of Western economic masters.
