Features: The book "Manifesto of the New Development Concept—Breaking the Fog of ABC in Political Economy," written and compiled by Liu Fuyuan, has been published by Xinhua Press. The book takes the establishment of a comprehensive, coordinated, and sustainable development concept and the promotion of the all-round development of the economy, society, and people as its fundamental point, elaborating on the scientific connotations of people-centered, China-centered, and all-round opening-up. It also provides insightful interpretations of some categories in political economy. How to maintain economic and social stability during the accelerated transformation period has become an increasingly prominent issue. From economists to government officials, there is growing consensus on the development concept, prompting reflections on our development strategies to prevent disruptions caused by imbalance. Standing at the forefront of the times, the author proposes a new development concept of being people-centered, China-centered, and open in all directions, providing a high-level overview of the scientific connotations of the new development concept. He conducts an in-depth and accessible analysis and argumentation on the various kinds of fog that have long shrouded the fundamental categories of political economy, proposing methods and approaches to dispel the fog of ABC in political economy. In the process of reflecting on development strategies, the author argues that the root of the problem lies in our failure to properly balance the relationship between growth and development, and between economic development and social development. We have shifted the focus from building the economy to prioritizing GDP growth, and from "development is the hard truth" to "growth is the hard truth." The fog of GDP fetishism has enveloped decision-makers at all levels. On the eve of formulating the 11th Five-Year Plan, the author presents to readers the fruits of years of exploration into the people-centered development concept. Titled "Manifesto of the New Development Concept" with the subtitle "Breaking the Fog of ABC in Political Economy," the book reflects the author's sense of mission and responsibility to advocate and promote the new development concept.
