Features: This book comprehensively and solemnly discusses the main theoretical and practical issues of mesoeconomics, an emerging economic discipline. The book is divided into three parts: "General Theory," "Industry," and "Region." If the "General Theory" part is the theoretical section of mesoeconomics, then the "Industry" and "Region" parts are its applied sections. The "General Theory" part primarily argues the many novel and fundamental theoretical categories of mesoeconomics, such as phenomena, characteristics, entities, time and space, structure, location, growth, clustering, and effects. Most of these insights are presented to readers for the first time, and many viewpoints are "unshackled from ingrained habits" and "unafraid of the influence of prevailing trends." The "Industry" part mainly elaborates on practical and hot applied economic issues such as the structural optimization of mesoeconomic industries, the clustering of mesoeconomic industrial organizations, the imbalance in mesoeconomic industrial linkages, technological progress in mesoeconomic industrial layouts, and corporate behavior in mesoeconomic industries. Some of these viewpoints differ from those of mainstream economic schools and are "not swayed by current trends" or "do not follow the crowd," "not deceived by superficially plausible but misleading fashionable arguments." The "Region" part primarily interprets perplexing and challenging applied economic issues such as the effective growth of mesoeconomic regions, the convergence and divergence of regional development, the comparative advantage trap of mesoeconomic regions, anti-poverty measures in mesoeconomic regions, and anti-gradient development in mesoeconomic regions.
