Features: This book is a "21st Century Curriculum Textbook" and also a national-level "15th Five-Year Plan" textbook for general higher education. Based on the previous edition, it adapts to the development of public finance theory and practice under China's market economy conditions, actively absorbing and learning from modern foreign fiscal theories. It breaks through the traditional structure of China's public finance textbooks, emphasizing the construction of a theoretical system for public finance from the perspectives of public economics and public policy. It introduces tax theory and policy from both macro and micro perspectives, and highlights the analysis and introduction of international fiscal relations under open economic conditions. It strives to have distinct features among the numerous public finance textbooks in China. The revision of this book primarily involves format, structure, and content. Specifically: the content of tax theory and tax systems has been adjusted and rewritten according to China's tax reform and development; social security, government budgets, and treasury systems have been added to adapt to the reform of public finance expenditure management; relevant data and materials have been updated according to current developments, and so on. This book comes with a free teacher's teaching package, with specific usage instructions found in the "Teaching Support Notes" at the back of the book. The main contents of the teaching package include the syllabus, PPT slides, reference answers to post-chapter exercises, mock exams, and case analyses. This book is a core textbook for undergraduate majors in economics and management at higher education institutions. It can also be used as an elective for other humanities and social science majors at universities and for self-study by the general public.
