Features: Sun Xiangjun's monograph aims to fully reflect the productivity transformation in the contemporary world. In this book, he attempts to elucidate the core argument: the essence of the transformation in the field of contemporary social productivity is the emergence of knowledge productivity. This knowledge productivity is the driving force behind revolutionary changes in contemporary politics, economy, culture, and even human beings themselves. The book can be divided into two parts: the first half is an in-depth study of knowledge productivity, while the second half explores the development of knowledge productivity in China. In his view, knowledge production is not a form of productivity that corresponds to material production. Rather, it is a leap in the development of material productivity and a new form of its advancement. The emergence of knowledge-producing nations is both a result of human intellectual evolution and productivity development, as well as a consequence of the combined effects of a series of specific economic, political, and social conditions. His research is imbued with a strong sense of social responsibility. Through his study of knowledge productivity and China's leapfrog development, he seeks to provide some beneficial and forward-looking suggestions for China to adapt to contemporary productivity transformations, achieve leapfrog development, and ultimately seize the initiative in the midst of global changes.
