Features: The issues covered in this book are quite extensive, including prospects for the new century economy, macroeconomic policies, corporate reform and development, the "three rurals" (rural areas, farmers, and agriculture) issues, the Western Development Campaign, private and private economies, the development of high-tech industries, economic globalization and joining the World Trade Organization, and the development of cross-strait economic relations, among others. However, there are still many issues that need further research and exploration, such as transforming the functions of governments at all levels, establishing norms of law, discipline, and morality, ensuring social fairness and justice, achieving healthy economic development, coping with changes in the international economic environment, advancing international economic cooperation, managing inflation and monetary tightening, preventing and resolving financial risks, reforming state-owned enterprises, encouraging technological innovation, safeguarding national security, and promoting social progress, and so on. The editors have selected works on macroeconomic issues from a large number of papers published by the journal Jingji Jie (Economic Circle) around the turn of the century for this book, Eminent Economists Discuss Macroeconomics. Jingji Jie, as an economic theory journal sponsored by the Central Committee of the China Association of Industrial and Commercial Professionals (CABCIP), has received strong support from people from all walks of life, especially scholars in the field of economics and officials in economic management departments, since its inception. It has published many insightful papers on economic system reform and development, covering various aspects of the current macroeconomic situation. Many of these papers not only had relevance and influence when they were published but also remain significant in terms of their basic approaches and recommendations for advancing reform and development today. Readers can gain insights from the papers collected in this book not only into the key, hot, and challenging issues in China's macroeconomy in recent years but also into the analysis, judgments, and policy recommendations of experts on these issues.
