Features: This book has been in existence for twenty-four years since its birth. During this period, China's social economy has continued to develop sustainably, rapidly, and healthily, with reforms gradually deepening and opening-up expanding. China has joined the World Trade Organization, and people's lives have improved significantly. In short, Chinese society is moving towards progress and prosperity. Based on this situation, we adhere to the spirit of keeping pace with the times and revise the book approximately every three years to align with the pace of China's social and economic development. The reason why the revision of this edition took a bit longer was mainly waiting for the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The purpose was to gain new ideas and perspectives on economic construction and economic system reform from the report of the 16th National Congress, so that we could reflect some new concepts and proposals in the book, making it more up-to-date and comprehensive. Practice has proven that our decision was correct. The summary of economic experience and theoretical generalizations in the 16th National Congress report indeed broadened our horizons, adding new content and more forward-thinking reflections to this revision. The main content of this book includes socialist market economy and economic system reform, the basic economic system in the primary stage of socialism, the interest relations and distribution system in the primary stage of socialism, and more.
