Features: This book is an exploratory work that aims to extract new theoretical connotations for the development of Marxism from the vivid practice of establishing a socialist market economy in China. In the impression of many, Marxism is merely the study of class struggle and national revolution, not the study of the individual, let alone individual rights. However, dialectical materialism and historical materialism in Marxism are precisely rooted in the individual. This book proposes that the practice of China's reform and opening-up is the practice of the return of people's economic rights, the practice of the comprehensive and free development of the Chinese people, and naturally, the practice of applying Marxism's theory of individual development. It is also the practice of innovating Marxist theory under new historical conditions. The book provides a preliminary exploration of the content, links, and essence of the return of people's economic rights, hoping to serve as a catalyst for further discussion.
