Features: This textbook's discussion is centered on the development of mainstream economics, while also including the narration of peripheral or "heretical" theories, aiming to comprehensively reflect the development of Western economics in different periods. At the beginning of each chapter, there is a content summary or introduction, followed by an overview of the historical context, the lives of key figures, and their works. The main focus and core content of each chapter are the discussions on the respective schools of thought or the theories of these individuals. At the end of each chapter, some basic reflection questions are provided, highlighting key issues or knowledge points of the chapter, but this does not imply that the mastery of the chapter's content is limited to these points. The main research literature appended at the end of the book lists the most representative and influential works of each era by chronological order. This is primarily intended to provide students with further reading references and does not require them to read all of them.
