Features: Zhou Dewei is one of the few direct disciples of Hayek in the Chinese academic world. He is not only a liberalist but also a modern Confucian. His views on Western liberalism, theory, and institutions not only uphold the classical liberalism traced by Hayek but also integrate the principles and spirit of traditional Chinese culture. In his view, Western liberal theory is not disconnected from China's "saintly learning" but has an inherent connection. Therefore, the exemplary significance of Zhou Dewei lies in the fact that, as a liberalist, he has integrated traditional culture; as a Confucian, he has introduced liberalist thought. This exemplar is vividly reflected in this book.
