Features: This book provides a detailed introduction to the economic thought of mercantilism from a dynamic and three-dimensional perspective, particularly focusing on the major Western economic schools since the classical economics represented by Adam Smith. It includes the origins, development, theoretical systems at their maturity, historical evaluations, and intellectual connections with other schools. Notably, the book emphasizes the analysis of intellectual connections between various Western economic schools and uses diagrams to help readers visually link and systematically study these schools, thereby clearly presenting the overall development of Western economic thought. Compared to other economics books, the greatest feature of this book is its extensive use of charts to explain concepts, striving to break away from the traditional text-based structure of economic theories. It aims to explain the various schools of economics in a simple and clear manner, simplifying complex issues as much as possible. Presenting complex economic ideas in this format is a new attempt, somewhat similar to a professor's lecture slides or notes, focusing on teaching efficiency and student comprehension.
