Features: The works included in this book, except for , are limited to representative works of bourgeois political economy in their production, formation, and development process. Works published before this century are basically referenced according to the system used in the textbook of "History of Chinese Economic Thought" in our country, with at least one representative work of an economist from each school, and as many existing Chinese translations as possible. Works published in this century are roughly divided into two parts: one is included based on its significance and role in the development of modern bourgeois economics, and the other is the work of an economist who has won the Nobel Prize in Economics. Before each "summary," the editor provides a detailed introduction to the academic background and experiences of the book's author, especially their academic thoughts and characteristics, making this book serve as a reference tool for a part of the "Economic Dictionary" entries. The editor strives to accurately and precisely express the original author's views in the text. For simplicity and clarity, depending on the nature of the original work, the editor sometimes summarizes relevant arguments of the original work in their own language and sometimes directly quotes sentences from the original work, but without quotation marks or indications of the original book's source.
