Features: This book focuses on the structural issues in the economic growth of China's western region. Guided by Marxist economic theory and employing a combination of theory and practice, it systematically examines the relationship between economic growth and economic structure in the western region, emphasizing the role of economic structure in driving economic growth. First, based on an analysis of the general relationship between economic growth and economic structure, it specifically elaborates on the impact of industrial structure, industrial organization structure, and technological structure on economic growth. Then, it outlines the evolution of the relationship between economic growth and economic structure in the western region, successively discussing the positive role of the economic structure in driving economic growth during three distinct periods: the traditional planned economy system, the planned commodity economy system, and the preliminary establishment of the market economy system. Finally, after a detailed analysis of the constraints imposed by the current economic structure in the western region on economic growth, it proposes a shift in the strategy for economic restructuring during the Western Development drive—from a resource-advantage-oriented restructuring strategy to a competitive-advantage-oriented restructuring strategy—and suggests corresponding measures for economic restructuring, including adjustments in industrial structure, industrial organization structure, and technological structure. This book systematically examines the relationship between economic growth and economic structure in the western region, emphasizing the role of economic structure in driving economic growth. It outlines the evolution of the relationship between economic growth and economic structure in the western region.
