Features: This book is a research-based textbook with innovative significance. The content is new—it reflects the spirit of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, as well as the requirements of the Third Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee on improving the socialist market economy system. The academic ideas are new—they incorporate the latest theoretical trends in the field of economics, such as the comparison between radical and gradual transformation, the path of emerging industrialization, the "three rural issues" and urbanization, scientific development concepts, and the new state-owned asset management system. The structural system is new—it is primarily reflected in the independent compilation of the economic system reform as a separate section, which strengthens the overall description of economic reform. The data and materials are new—they adopt the latest statistical data, with many figures updated to 2004. The book systematically discusses the basic categories and general theories of the market economy, analyzing the theory and practice of China's economic reform and development. The book is divided into five parts: Basic Economic System and Market Economy System, Economic System Reform, Microeconomic Operation, Macroeconomic Operation, and Economic Development, totaling 18 chapters. The book has four distinct features: First, the content is new—it promptly reflects the spirit of the 16th National Congress and the Third Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee on improving the socialist market economy system, and introduces the latest theoretical trends in the field of economics, with many statistical data updated to 2004. Second, the discussion is both in-depth and accessible—it is based on college students in economic management programs but incorporates content from the graduate level of political economy. Third, the expression is concise—the entire book summarizes the content of traditional political economy textbooks on the socialist part in 380,000 words. Fourth, the theoretical characteristics are prominent, and the style is unified—the book was independently written by the author based on nearly 20 years of teaching experience, avoiding the issues of inconsistent styles and compromised viewpoints often found in collectively written textbooks. The book is suitable as a textbook for universities, adult education institutions, and cadre training programs, as well as a self-study guide for various talents on socialist economic theory.
