Features: Samuelson's "mixed economy thought" remains the dominant influence on China's economic policy-making; Friedman's liberalist ideas profoundly impact how the Chinese avoid becoming a planned economy in macroeconomic regulation; Lewis and others' development economics quickly made the Chinese understand that the dual structure is the main feature of developing countries, and China needs to leverage its advantage of abundant labor resources. These shining names are like stars in the sky, illuminating China's sky and holding significant reference value for its development. Their grand theories on governing the state and strategies for benefiting the world undoubtedly give you a keen eye to unravel the mysteries behind various economic phenomena.

This book collects the insights of top economists in the world shaped by "heroes are made by the times," perfectly blending economic theory, philosophy, history, and personal biographies to open a window for you to understand the formation process of today's economic thought.
