Features: This book follows the principle of "arguments derived from history" and, through the organization and summarization of Sun Yat-sen's numerous speeches and writings, reveals the full picture of his economic thought. It provides a scientific evaluation, highly praising the grand economic construction blueprint that Sun Yat-sen envisioned for modern China, as well as the historical significance and contemporary value of his specific strategies, measures, and methods for economic development. Additionally, it validates the foresight of Sun Yat-sen's economic thought through the realities of contemporary reform and opening-up. The book argues that "Minshengism," or "Sun's Socialism," is diverse. The "Industrial Plan" outlines a modern material civilization construction system, while "Equal Land Rights" and "Farmer Ownership of Land" weave a blueprint for land system construction from urban to rural areas and from past to future across multiple dimensions of time and space. "Regulating Capital" seeks to establish an ownership structure with a dominant state economy alongside coexisting multiple economic components. The pioneering regional economic approach from east to central to west, as well as systematic thinking in economic construction, all challenge traditional academic views and bring breakthroughs and innovations.
