Features: True face and true words. To do well and persevere in doing so, forming a style and atmosphere, is very difficult. It requires strong comprehensive qualities, such as concepts, responsibility, passion, courage, autonomy, demeanor, detachment, diligence, learning, experience, and so on. What surprised and humbled me is that at such a young age, the author has largely achieved this. Now presented to the readers is a series from the book—the "Beijing Swordsmen of Thought" series of essays by economists. These fourteen young scholars, known as the "Beijing Swordsmen of Thought," are full of youthful vigor, exceptionally talented, and highly productive thinkers. All four hold doctoral degrees and have undergone postdoctoral training. They self-proclaim themselves as the "floating generation" of economists.
