Features: The study of the basic economic system in the primary stage of socialism in China is a brand-new topic proposed by the 15th National Congress of the Party. The purpose of this book is to guide the research and reveal the special laws of economic movement in "socialist" countries with China as a typical example, under the guidance of historical materialism. The book argues that it is necessary to distinguish between two different historical forms of socialism; that the necessary stages of socio-economic development cannot be simply skipped over; and that the inherent nature of various forms of ownership should be distinguished from the extent to which they correspond to productive forces at the current stage. The main contents of the book include: the nature of the economic system and its important position in political economy; the development and evolution of the economic system after the founding of New China and the reasons behind it; the connections and distinctions between the basic economic system in the primary stage of socialism and other related economic systems; the connections and distinctions of the economic system in the primary stage; the socio-economic conditions and inevitability that gave rise to the primary stage economic system; a scientific understanding of the connotations of the basic economic system in the primary stage; an understanding of the particularity of public ownership at the current stage and its forms of realization; an understanding of the nature and functions of state ownership at the current stage, and so on.
