Features: This book provides an academic platform for comparative institutional analysis for readers, and this issue is the 24th. Standing at the forefront of theory, it selectively introduces the experiences and lessons of other countries, the theories and practices of transition economies, and the development of comparative research fields. It also provides targeted introductions to the design of economic reform plans, policy proposals, and reviews in the academic theoretical circles at home and abroad regarding China's economic reforms. The Comparison is committed to providing cutting-edge international academic research related to major issues in China's economic reforms. The 24th issue discusses, through the research of internationally renowned scholars, the issues of social security systems and medical systems that are currently a focus of public concern, as these reform proposals and designs are urgent and fundamental to establishing a well-functioning social welfare system. The interpretation of the "Latin American disease," which is currently a hot topic of discussion, is that the populism of Latin American politicians makes the political cycle determine the economic cycle, leading to large fluctuations in the economy. The analysis of Fujimori's corruption in Peru shows the extreme importance of the media: it can serve as a supervisory role but may also become a tool for corrupt politicians. There is also a Nobel laureate explaining why economists are unpopular, because their way of thinking is slightly different from others, and their public roles often lead to ruthless conclusions based on economic logic.
