Features: The Communist Party of China has proposed the historic task of building a harmonious socialist society. This book conducts a series of theoretical explorations and practical summaries on the theme of building a harmonious society. The book is divided into two parts. The first part studies and summarizes the European experience, namely how countries that originally implemented free-market capitalism have undergone social construction, transforming a classically severe, continuously class-struggle-ridden capitalist society into a more stable, harmonious, and relatively safer direction for its members. The second part focuses on China's realities, exploring themes such as what constitutes a socialist harmonious society, the relationship between building a harmonious society and building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, the guiding significance of Marxist thought in constructing a socialist harmonious society, and areas where Marxism needs further development. The authors of this book are mostly experts in the field of social sciences research in China. Their research findings can be referenced by a broad range of theoretical researchers and social administrators, as well as serve as a reference for the general public to understand the harmonious society and recognize social development.
