Features: The development of academic endeavors is like the Yangtze River, with waves following waves, endless and continuous, just like the passing of the torch, generation after generation, with ever brighter brilliance. Later scholars must understand the work already done by their predecessors, inherit their achievements and experiences, and build upon them to move forward. The Academic Committee of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences has gathered dozens of senior experts from dozens of disciplines in our institution. They have decades of research experience in their respective fields and have made significant contributions in their areas of expertise. The published series features representative works selected by each expert from their academic careers, bringing them together for publication. This not only showcases their diligent academic journey but also reflects the partial achievements and developments in various fields of philosophy and social sciences in China over the past few decades, especially since the reform and opening-up. It is a highly meaningful endeavor. Teng Teng's Collected Works: Since I was transferred to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 1993, more than ten years have passed, second only to the thirty-seven years I spent studying and working at Tsinghua University in terms of duration. At the Academy, I continued to follow the dual path, engaging in both Party and government work while exploring and shaping my own academic direction. I aimed to bridge the intersection of social sciences and natural sciences, continuing my academic expertise in energy and resource utilization and technical economic analysis while moving closer to socio-economic fields. Ultimately, I chose sustainable development and ecological economics as my focus, an emerging discipline highly valued both globally and in China, so I have compiled a portion of my recent work at the Academy into this selected collection.
