Features: Combining socialism with a market economy is a great creation of the Chinese people and an innovation in the market economy system. This innovation is unprecedented, facing a challenging path of exploration and representing a profound social transformation. With the market economy as the theme, economic ethics as the starting point, and human ontology as the main line, we reveal the contemporary connotations and future trends of China's market economy development. We explore the utilitarian and moral realms of economic agents in different social and cultural contexts in China and the West, and draw on recent research achievements in Chinese academia to elaborate on some core issues in market economy ethics.
