Features: The emergence and development of economic law are based on the emergence and development of economic relations. However, as a discipline, economic law began to attract attention gradually from the 20th century onwards. In China, the legal regulation of economic relations can be traced back to a long time ago, but it was not until the late 1970s of the last century that economic law was truly studied as a discipline. This book is primarily presented as a tutorial on economic law as an applied discipline. Therefore, from the perspective of theoretical research on economic law, it may seem insufficient, but in terms of its logical coherence and comprehensiveness, it can meet the needs of higher education institutions in China for teaching economic law. Since the materials used in this book are as up-to-date as possible, under the context of governing the country according to law, this book is not only suitable for law majors but also widely applicable to self-study and reference for theoretical and practical workers in economics and management.
The division of this book is novel, as it breaks away from the traditional classification of general economic law textbooks and divides the tutorial into the following sections: Basic Theories of Economic Law, Legal Systems for Market Participant Organization, Legal Systems for Market Participant Behavior, Legal Systems for Market Order, Legal Systems for Macro-Control, Legal Systems for Social Security, and Legal Systems for Economic Dispute Resolution. The novelty of the divisions is primarily reflected in the chapters they contain. In the Legal Systems for Market Participant Organization, we have set up chapters such as Company Law, Partnership and Sole Proprietorship Law, State-Owned Enterprise Law, and Legal Systems for Other Economic Organizations. This provides a well-organized description of the basic economic organizational forms under market economy conditions and some transitional subject forms that still exist in the process of economic system reform. In the Legal Systems for Market Participant Behavior, we have set up two chapters: Financial Law and Intellectual Property Law. The former introduces the Commercial Bank Law, Securities Law, Insurance Law, Trust Law, Trademark Law, Patent Law, Copyright Law, and other intellectual property legal systems, which can meet people's basic understanding of the legal systems governing the behavior of market economy participants. In the Legal Systems for Market Order, we have set up five chapters: Technical Supervision Law, Competition Law, Transaction Safety Law, Consumer Rights Protection Law, and Bankruptcy Law. These chapters respectively describe the Metrology Law, Standardization Law, Product Quality Law, Anti-Monopoly Law, Anti-Imprisonment Law, Guarantee Law, Bill of Exchange Law, Letter of Credit Law, Consumer Rights Protection Law, and Bankruptcy Law. In the Legal Systems for Macro-Control, we have set up three chapters: Comprehensive Economic Control Law, Means-based Economic Control Law, and Directional Economic Control Law. These chapters respectively describe the Plan Law, Budget Law, Environmental Law, Resource and Energy Law, Foreign Trade Law, Central Bank Law, Tax Law, Price Law, Accounting and Audit Law, Promotion Law for Small and Medium Enterprises, and Promotion Law for Clean Production. In the Legal Systems for Social Security, we have set up two chapters: Social Security Law and Social Insurance Law. These chapters respectively describe the Social Aid Law, Social Welfare Law, Preferential Treatment and Settlement Law, Old-Age Pension Law, Unemployment Insurance Law, Medical Insurance Law, Maternity Insurance Law, and Work Injury Insurance Law. In the Legal Systems for Economic Dispute Resolution, we have set up three chapters: Legal Systems for Economic Arbitration, Legal Systems for Economic Trial, and WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism and Economic Dispute Resolution.
The arrangement of these divisions and chapters not only reflects the consideration of systematicity in this tutorial but also aligns with a red thread in its fundamental theories, which is the theory that economic law adjusts the social public economic relations in the process of modern economic operation.
