Features: To some extent, this book adopts the research method of object-oriented relationships formed in the book "Introduction to the Subject and Object of History." Marxist dialectics and historical materialism serve as the fundamental ideological methodology. Although there are certain problems in specific examples, overall, as the basic ideological methodology, it is deeply rooted in the author's mind. People should not doubt this point simply because they are unaccustomed to the author's expression and problem-solving approach. Without a doubt, the admiration for the analytical philosophy techniques in clarifying concepts motivated me to attempt to use analytical philosophy methods to resolve some difficult theoretical dilemmas. There is one more point that needs to be explained: the liberal theory discussed in this book as an opposing viewpoint, in ignoring its old-new and left-right differences, compares its basic principles with those of Marxism. Such fundamental differences not only exist between Marx and the political economy theory he criticized but also between Marx and the critically inherited Hegelian economic theory. The discussion on the relationship between justice and equality in liberalism is targeted at its left-wing representatives, who, in principle, have no differences with the former. The differences between the two lie in their positions on defending the basic principles and their attitudes toward corrective measures.
