Features: Economic Writing is a widely popular textbook and professional writing resource for university faculty and students, as well as general readers interested in economics. It closely aligns with the realities of China's economic life and construction, featuring strong professionalism, theoretical depth, knowledge, systematicity, and practicality. The authors, based in Guangdong—a frontline region of China's reform and opening-up—have long been engaged in teaching and researching both basic and professional writing. They have integrated extensive practical experience in the market economy with thoroughly tested teaching insights. With each revision bringing updated content and improved structure, the book remains timely and offers learners practical guidance for writing practice.
The book is divided into two major sections. The first section, General Principles, elaborates on the fundamental theories, principles, and methods of economic writing based on traditional literary theory and modern writing characteristics and patterns. The second section, Specific Genres, focuses on introducing writing knowledge for dozens of frequently used and representative economic practical writing styles. Each chapter includes illustrative examples and carefully designed Reflections and Exercises for reference.
The content is presented in an accessible and easy-to-understand manner, making it suitable as a general writing textbook for economics-related majors in universities, vocational schools, and higher vocational colleges. It can also serve as a self-study reference for working economists, civil servants, corporate secretaries, and young individuals aspiring to pursue economic careers.
This book comes with a complimentary Economic Writing Study Guide CD-ROM, which includes key learning points, difficult-to-understand concepts explained, selected cases, and reference answers for reflections and exercises. It is beneficial for both learners and instructors.
