Features: In the field of Chinese economics, Wang Zekuo is one of the few scholars who can use lucid language or engaging stories to popularize the depth and intricacy of economics and convey it to the public. He has the habit of "not writing without thinking," and for decades, he has tirelessly penned many excellent works for readers. This book records the heartwarming journey of a world-renowned economist exploring and cultivating in the field of economics; it conveys the outstanding contributions they have made to the evolution and development of economic thought; and it admires their noble demeanor and character—loving life, upholding truth, and being uniquely distinctive.
There are countless works on economics, and books introducing economists number in the hundreds. Many of these works are indeed profound and extensive, yet they often leave readers in awe. In the impression of many readers, economists are seemingly whimsical geniuses. We strive to "bring them back to earth" and focus on uncovering the journey of these economists—how they pursued their studies, entered the of economics, and contributed to scientific research and exploration. We do not overlook any seemingly opportunities. Perhaps one day, you too may embark on such a path.
After the publication of The Growth Stories of Economists, at the request of a broad readership, this book continues to introduce another group of distinctive economists in the form of storytelling and with a clear and fluent style, targeting economics and management students and readers interested in economics and economists. Most of them are scholars who have not yet won the Nobel Prize. The introduction of Nobel laureate scholars has already been very popular, and we do not wish to join the crowd. Secondly, the economists introduced in this book may become future Nobel laureates. The recent award of the Nobel Prize to Stiglitz serves as clear evidence of this.
