Features: "The Warning of Prosperity—The Confusion and Choices of the Economy in Nine Provinces and Cities in Eastern China" is not a conventional economics book. It uses the traditional form of a "critical book" as its textual carrier, emitting some alternative voices that differ from mainstream and conventional thinking. It breaks through the prevailing mindset of praise and directly questions the contradictions and flaws in the economies of Hainan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shandong, Tianjin, Beijing, and Liaoning. In a relatively short, it authentically reconstructs the problems and dilemmas of nine regional economic bodies in eastern China, interpreting economic hidden injuries, industrial blind spots, and misguided policies in a calm, neutral, and balanced manner. As a critic, it is not driven by personal interests, striving to make the "harsh criticism" in the book a well-intentioned piece of advice, and to make the "policy recommendations" a reference for government management planning, investor decision-making, entrepreneurs' operations, and the public's concern for livelihood. The book endeavors to embody the rare passion for rationality and a sense of social responsibility. The judgments made about the confusion and choices of the economy in eastern China may not be mature or comprehensive. Perhaps some parts are exaggerated and biased, but sincerely hope that readers who are concerned about China's economic development, the individuality of China's regional economy, and the future trends of the economy in eastern China will join in discussion and reflection, offer criticism and suggestions, so that improvements can be made for the second edition. The book questions the contradictions and flaws in the economies of Hainan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai, etc., reconstructs the problems and dilemmas of nine regional economic bodies in eastern China, and interprets economic hidden injuries, industrial blind spots, and misguided policies that are unknown or rarely known.
