Features: Reading the entire book, I feel that its greatest feature lies in the combination of historical analysis and theoretical discussion, rigorous argumentation, extensive and detailed materials, and rich information. In the general introduction, the author, leveraging years of experience in teaching and researching economic law theory, comprehensively and meticulously reviews various common understandings of the concept of Western economic law, as well as their origins, development, and innovations. The author analyzes the legislative practices of Western economic law, examines various viewpoints on its emergence, and summarizes the general patterns of its development. Additionally, the author outlines the brief history of economic law in Germany, Japan, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States, categorizing them under the civil law system and the common law system. This rational helps to explore the developed history of Western economic law in a more mature manner and provides a standardized theoretical perspective—that economic law should be defined as a set of legal norms that regulate macro-control and market regulation in modern market economies to address market failures and government failures. The book aims to examine the emergence, development, and transformation of Western economic law from the perspective of the discipline, focusing on the evolution of macro-control and market regulation laws in developed Western countries, with the goal of more scientifically revealing the essence of modern economic law.
