Features: The book is preceded by a preface written by the renowned sinologist, Dr. Schiffrin. In addition to providing a brief introduction to Chen Huanzhang's background as a disciple of Kang Youwei, the preface highly praises Chen's exquisite research on the economic thoughts of Confucius and his school using a Western economic framework. This book is one of the early Chinese economic thought masterpieces published in the West in the early 20th century, as well as the earliest economic discipline treatises published by Chinese scholars in the West (Hu Jixuan, Outline of Modern Chinese Thought History, p. 476, Beijing: China Social Sciences Press, December 1984 edition). It may also be the first doctoral dissertation on Chinese themes by Chinese students studying in Europe and America and published in Western countries, making it possess exceptional documentary and academic value.
