Features: The relationship between the two systems is one of the main relationships in the international community for over a century. Whether one rises or falls, whether one wins or loses, has always stirred the hearts of billions of people on this planet. This book elaborates on the relationship between socialism and capitalism, the two "isms," two systems, and two different types of countries in politics, military, diplomacy, economy, and culture over the past century, especially since the October Revolution. It details the opposition, conflict, struggle, mutual exchange, learning, and cooperation between these systems and isms. The book primarily follows history as its main thread, focusing on narrating history, while also combining historical analysis with theoretical discussion to explain the relevant theoretical views and policy proposals of key figures, theorists, and scholars on both the socialist and capitalist sides. It also provides brief evaluations of both the history and the theories. Through this book, one can see the tortuous and complex history of the relationship between the two systems and isms, as well as the profound historical lessons and future trends.
