Opening up his 72-volume works, it covers all aspects of economic activity, including trade, industry, capital, stocks, banking, real estate, foreign capital markets, and finance. These articles are not only full of brilliant insights but also written in vivid and accessible language. Reading Lin Xingzhi's articles, one would find that all of economics occurs between you and me, in every moment of our daily lives, becoming a pursuit and interest for people. Lin Xingzhi's works not only vividly describe and analyze complex and multifaceted economic issues in simple language but also widely spread and introduce economic knowledge and theories. From Adam Smith and Ricardo of the classical era to Keynes, Schumpeter, Mises, and Hayek of the modern era; from the profound theories of Nobel Prize-winning economists over the years to the personal insights of ordinary economists. Opening up Lin Xingzhi's works, one would feel as if entering an economic knowledge exhibition. It is precisely these knowledge and analyses that not only inherit the marginalized governance and economic studies of ancient China but also continue the spirit of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations from over 200 years ago, thus transforming the traditional Chinese notion of "disdaining commerce and ignoring profit," satisfying the insatiable demand of Hong Kong people for economic knowledge and explanations of economic phenomena, and aligning with the needs of China's economic reform and opening-up. In this sense, Lin Xingzhi's works pioneered a new trend in Hong Kong and opened up a new realm of modern economic knowledge for Chinese readers. In addition to introducing the various schools of contemporary American economics, the author, with his "divine pen," concisely outlines the origins and developments of more than a dozen important economic theories and the outstanding contributions and admirable qualities of 29 great economists—Nobel laureates—who have made a significant impact on the world. He also offers guidance and direction for young students and scholars who are aspiring to or already engaged in economic research, pointing them toward the right path of learning and exploration.
