Features: With the publication of the third volume of Political Economy Colloquium, the development of Marxist political economy in China has encountered significant opportunities. The Scientific Outlook on Development proposed by the Party Central Committee with Hu Jintao as General Secretary has made major advancements in Marxist development theory. The "Project for the Theoretical Research and Construction of Marxism" organized by the Central Committee is in full swing, and the erroneous tendency of neglecting and denying the guiding role and scientific significance of Marxist political economy is being criticized by an increasing number of people. The teaching and research of Marxist political economy are being strengthened. The third volume of Political Economy Colloquium includes the following five works: Marx's Development Theory and the Scientific Outlook on Development (edited by Zhang Lesheng and Zhang Yu), China's Transformation Model: Reflection and Innovation (by Zhang Yu), Mathematical Political Economy (by Zhang Zhongren), The Evolution of Economic Growth Models in Developed Capitalist Countries (by Gao Feng), and Economic Development and Institutional Change: A Historical Perspective (by Gao Depu). We sincerely hope that the publication of the third volume of Political Economy Colloquium will play a positive role in promoting the development of Marxist economics in China at the current stage.
