Features: Over a century of three major reassessments, each time constructing a new knowledge system, category, concept, discourse, and even paradigm for China. These reassessments have provided new theoretical foundations and action plans for China's salvation and survival, the transformation of Chinese civilization, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the development of Chinese revolution and modernization. As a result, Chinese social sciences have moved into society and among the people, permeating their entire spiritual and material lives, and infiltrating into the comprehensive transformation of social systems. Over a century of development in Chinese social sciences has provided a powerful spiritual driving force and a solid spiritual backbone for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. During this century, Chinese social sciences have undergone three large-scale reassessments of prior academic, intellectual, and cultural traditions. Each reassessment has not only brought a major leap forward in social sciences but also a widespread ideological liberation and a significant improvement in the quality of the populace. In fact, the reassessment continues to this day, which has shaped the character of Chinese social sciences as being forward-looking, progressive, and diverse. The book provides detailed materials, summarizing the formation and development of Chinese theoretical economics over the 20th century, outlining the development and major achievements of its various branches during this period, reviewing the significant debates in theoretical economics over the century, and introducing the educational and research institutions, academic associations, academic journals, and exchanges between China and the world, as well as the publication of important works. At the end of the book, there is a chronology of major events in the development of Chinese theoretical economics in the 20th century. This book is a comprehensive and systematic academic work that summarizes the development of Chinese theoretical economics over the 20th century.
