Features: This book primarily collects some economic essays and prose written by me since the second half of 2000 during my visiting scholar period at the University of Cambridge. Most of these articles were written during 2002 and were mainly published in The 21st Century Business Herald and other domestic newspapers and magazines. This book is a collection of economic essays by the renowned scholar Wei Sen. The entire book gathers column articles written by the author for publications such as The 21st Century Business Herald, Economic News, and New Finance, as well as prefaces, afterwords, or book reviews written for some famous works by other scholars. These short pieces are all about the sparks of economic thoughts and insights that the author encountered in his academic pursuits, arising from everyday teaching and life. In the book, the author states, "Economics should be poetry. Economists should be able to write poetic economics in poetic language." The author's profound insights on poetic economics are vividly reflected in this Economics as Poetry.
