Features: This book collects the author's critical essays from recent years, covering topics from the "9·11" incident to the path to happiness, from debates with Professor Zhang Wuchang to the pros and cons of globalization, from whether the Chinese yuan should appreciate to Bush's unilateralism, including various economic and social issues. The book presents many arguments that differ from the majority's views. For example, while most people celebrate the significant increase in private cars, I am not only not overjoyed but also deeply concerned, fearing that China may fall into the trap of car-dominated development, as the major external costs of automobiles are severe. If we do not prepare for potential challenges now, we will find ourselves in an inescapable situation in the future.
