Features: The market economy development of China has increasingly attracted global attention, and the concept of the "Beijing Consensus" further affirms the model of China's market economy development. However, there are numerous debates both domestically and internationally regarding the characteristics and market culture processes of China's market economy. This book provides an in-depth analysis and discussion from an international comparative perspective, exploring the essential features of a market economy, controversies over the role of the government in the market economy, the indicator system and quantitative assessment of economic marketization, the basic experiences of market economy development in various countries, and the impact of different market economy models on economic development. The book conducts comparative research on the experiences of market economy development in different countries and summarizes some theoretical issues. These issues include: the essential characteristics and attributes of a market economy; the understanding, evaluation, and indicator systems of economic marketization levels in various countries; the similarities and differences among different market economy systems and their impact on economic development; the role of the state in the market economy and the positioning of government functions; and the experiences, lessons, and insights of countries transitioning from planned economies to market economies. This book is rich in content and profound in argumentation, holding significant practical and theoretical implications for the establishment of the operating mechanisms of China's market economy and the development of market economy theory.
