Features: The purpose of this book is to study modern economic growth and its related fundamental factors. If it is said that the speed and quality of economic growth are the results of economic activities and processes, then the factors affecting economic activities and processes are the factors of economic growth. There are many factors affecting economic growth, and they are interconnected, permeated, interdependent, constrained, and mutually promoted to varying degrees, forming an organic unity. Throughout history, people have conducted research from different angles or using different methods, reaching conclusions that are quite different or even completely opposite, thus sparking continuous debates. In terms of academic research alone, this is not only acceptable but also beneficial. Among the many factors affecting economic growth, the two most direct and prominent are: first, scientific and technological progress; second, the economic system. To explore the issues of scientific and technological progress, the economic system, and modern economic growth, it is first necessary to discuss their basic concepts.
