Features: The "human-centered" economics in this book is neither derived from Renaissance humanism nor aligned with the theoretical perspectives of recently discovered Western humanistic economics. Instead, it is an economic theory that explains economic phenomena from the perspective of human beings themselves. The entire theoretical system of human-centered economics in this book is completed based on a nearly natural logical deduction. Both its theoretical viewpoints and structural systems exhibit organic connections, and if one viewpoint is undermined and cannot be self-repaired, the entire theoretical system faces the risk of collapse. Since "human-centered development" has become a practical strategy and theoretical focus for China's economic and social development, this revised edition has added content on humanistic theoretical research and presents the differences between this book and mainstream economics in relevant important theoretical thinking in the form of charts. This clear expression will help deepen the systematic understanding of human-centered economic theory. This book constructs an economic theoretical system centered around happiness, with the idea of "human-centered development" permeating the entire work, and harmonious development becoming an inherent requirement of this economic theoretical system. When first published, the idea of human-centered harmonious development was already systematically included. This edition further explains the essential characteristics and root causes of social disharmony, promoting the integration of humanistic economic thought and the theory of a harmonious society. The book includes twelve chapters: Introduction, Principle of Needs, The Dao Gives Birth to All: Understanding Human Economic History, Principle of Consumption, Principle of Production, Principle of Distribution, Exchange, Planning and Market, Government Theory, Roads and Institutions, etc.
