Features: Samuelson's "mixed economy thought" remains the dominant force in China's economic policy-making; Friedman's liberal thought profoundly influences how Chinese avoid becoming a planned economy in macro-control; Lewis and others' development economics quickly made the Chinese understand that the dual structure is the main feature of developing countries, and China should leverage its advantage of abundant labor resources. These shining names are like stars in the sky, illuminating China's sky and holding significant reference value for China's development. Their grand theories on governing the state and strategies for benefiting the world undoubtedly give you a sharp eye to unravel the mysteries behind various economic phenomena. What made these 44 economists win the pearls of the economics crown? How did they influence the world on their quest for knowledge? What lies behind their thoughts? This book collects the glimpses of world-class economists shaped by the times, perfectly blending economic theory, philosophy, history, and personal biographies to open a window for you to understand the formation process of today's economic thought.
