Features: Wu Jinglian has always believed that the authority of theory is not granted but earned. He opposes using administrative authority to judge the right or wrong of theoretical issues. Wu Jinglian is not a scholar who is immersed in books and admires himself, nor is he a cynical and haughty scholar. His advice is neither subservient to superiors nor flattering to the masses, often showing a unique and independent style. He has never attached himself to power, nor followed the crowd, nor been swayed by personal fame, fortune, or risk. He believed he should belong to an era. This collection of essays includes some of Wu's older articles, with more being speeches from the symposium celebrating the 50th anniversary of his work in economic research.
