Features: This book has the following characteristics:
1. New System. This book comprehensively elaborates on Marxist political economy of capitalism and socialist market economy. Based on the spirit of Marx's Capital and the six-volume system of political economy, it pioneers the "Five-Process System" in academia.
2. New Method. The book discards the method of dividing political economy into capitalism and socialism as two separate parts, or splitting interconnected economic systems, economic operations, and economic development into several sections, with further chapter-by-chapter analysis of capitalism and socialism within each part. Instead, it pioneers the approach of explaining each chapter internally according to the "General and Specific Analysis of Categories."
3. New Perspectives. The book actively incorporates the latest research findings on capitalism and socialism from domestic and international political economy, selectively adopting certain theories from contemporary Western economics while emphasizing the scientificity, stability, and predictability of principles. It adheres to the spirit of "not relying solely on books, superiors, or trends" and advocates "emancipating thought without rigidity and maintaining rigorous scholarship without superficiality."
4. New Data. Due to space constraints, the book focuses on the analysis of economic principles rather than extensive empirical descriptions. It meets the needs of reform and development in the 21st century and is suitable for economics and management majors in various universities and party schools, as well as for cadre education and vocational training programs.
