Features: Reading this book, we discover an academic world vastly different from the one depicted by Western scholars. The author's unique perspective and novel viewpoints refresh our understanding. Due to the author's dual identity as a scholar and a banker, the book's discussion of issues is not abstract or obscure but is based on a wealth of new firsthand materials (with the latest data extending to 2003). This makes the arguments vivid and compelling, which is also one of the book's valuable aspects.
