Features: "Economics on the Blackboard" is used to mock economics, referring to the fact that economic theories lack practical value and cannot contribute to national governance or societal well-being. It is like a showy martial arts form that looks impressive but lacks substance. This collection includes articles I wrote from the second half of 2002 to the first half of 2003. These articles were originally published in publications such as Dushu (Reading), Economists' Tea House, Wangwang, Nanfang Chuangkong, People's Daily, Guangming Daily, and Shenzhen Commercial Daily, with a few that have not been published yet. This book is the latest economic essay collection by Mr. Liang Xiaomin. In this book, the author conveys three messages to readers: economics is taught on the blackboard but applied in practice; the "frog at the bottom of the well" may not see the full picture, but its perspective can still yield "a grain of wisdom in a thousand foolish thoughts"; and finally, he hopes that readers can easily grasp the profound content of economics while engaging in intellectual discussions.
