Features: This book is guided by the theory of Marxist political economy, supplemented by relevant theories (political science, sociology, law, history, management, ethics, and network science, etc.). With a spirit of scientific pursuit of truth and innovation and strict academic standards, it takes the development of the international gambling industry as the background and comprehensive focus, and selects China's Welfare Lottery, Hong Kong Horse Racing, and Macau Casinos as individual case studies of lotteries, horse racing, and casinos, respectively. Employing academic research methods such as empirical analysis, normative analysis, qualitative analysis, and quantitative analysis, the book attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of the gambling industry, explaining and interpreting some of its issues. It neither avoids the negative impacts nor exaggerates the positive effects. Based on the current state of international gambling industry development and China's actual conditions, the book carefully compares and weighs various approaches, proposing targeted countermeasures and policy suggestions for government decision-making and relevant departments to reference.
