Contemporary Chinese Marxist Economists: Critique and Innovation
The book titled Contemporary Chinese Marxist Economists: Critique and Innovation, compiled and edited by Professor Liu Sihua, Director and Senior Researcher of the Marxist Economics Research Center at Guangxi University, has recently been completed by our center and published by World Publishing Corporation.
Across the global economic, social, and ecological spheres, the contradictions created and exacerbated by capitalist systems, policies, and concepts are prompting an increasing number of people of insight to rethink the developmental direction and path of human society. It is in this context that the multi-school Marxist economics gradually developing in China is garnering significant attention from both international and domestic economic theoretical circles. This will contribute to the flourishing of scientific economic thought in China and the world, promoting continuous economic and social progress. Marxist economics, both in China and abroad, is bound to exert a profound and inspiring influence.
This book carefully selects and compiles papers from renowned contemporary Chinese Marxist economic experts and scholars across different age groups:
Those in their 80s include Liu Guoguang, Hu Daiguang, Wei Xinghua, Zhang Xunhua, and Xiang Qiyuan; those in their 70s include Wu Yifeng, Wu Xuangong, Hong Yuanpeng, Yang Chengxun, and Liu Sihua; those in their 60s include Cheng Enfu, Lin Gang, Wang Zhenzhong, Li Bingyan, and He Ganqiang; those in their 50s include Zuo Dapei, Bai Baoli, Ma Yan, Yang Zhi, and Zhang Zhongren; and those in their 40s include Hu Leming, Yu Bin, Zhang Yu, Meng Jie, and Ding Baojun. Collectively, they have formed a colorful array of Marxist economic theories and academic styles.
