Features: This book explores the essence and specific content of the ethical cultural forms adapted to the socialist market economy from the unique perspective of Marx's practical materialism or practical dialectics, drawing on the outstanding achievements of Western social contract theory, and summarizes it as "socialist contract cultural form." The book constructs a theoretical system of socialist contract culture centered around the main axis of "freedom as the essence of human-centeredness," "equality as the essence of social-centeredness," and "democracy as the essence of political-centeredness," namely the "Three Pillars," with the "Five Principles"—"benefit," "etiquette," "justice," "trust," and "law"—as the basic guidelines.
