Features: With the rapid pace of scientific discoveries and inventions in the contemporary era, their achievements have far surpassed those of our ancestors. For this, we bask in a sense of pride and satisfaction; at the same time, when we witness the costs, pollution, destruction, and social consequences of this progress, we face doubts and concerns about the survival of future generations. Today, this ignorant satisfaction and desire for pursuit are restrained by the escalating anger of nature. It is no longer feasible to hop on the fast train of high-speed economic growth. The reins of nature have gripped the speeding train, forcing the development philosophy that completely ignores problems into a phase of reflection. It is not consciousness that determines existence, but existence that determines consciousness. The right to survival is threatened, and everything else must yield! Comrade Liang Yanshun's book, The Theory of Low-Cost Economic Growth, is a natural product of the current reality that shapes consciousness. The Theory of Low-Cost Economic Growth, published by the People's Publishing House in 1998, was reprinted in February 2004. The main argument of the book is that economic growth must consider the costs involved. The author analyzes the costs China has paid for its recent economic growth and proposes achieving sustainable development through resource recycling, environmental purification cycles, maintaining moderate zero population growth, expanding natural resource and environmental capacity, and pursuing low-cost economic growth.
