Fudan University's Economics "Graduation Course" Faces Real Problems and Delves into Real Logic
☆ Connecting abstract economic theories with China's development reality: How can we achieve feasible mobilization and resource allocation to promote economic growth when market mechanisms are imperfect?

This book is the culmination of Lan Xiaohuan's years of teaching, research, and study. It organically integrates economic principles with the practical application of China's economic development. Focusing on local government investment and financing, it offers an accessible and insightful account of China's economic development. Its writing is concise and objective, drawing extensively on the latest research findings from scholars across various fields. The book is divided into two parts. The first explains micro-mechanisms, including the basic affairs of local governments, revenue and expenditure, land financing and development, investment, and debt. The second part explains the connection between these micro-behaviors and macro-phenomena, including urbanization and industrialization, housing prices, regional disparities, debt risks, imbalances in the domestic economic structure, and international trade conflicts. The final chapter summarizes and recapitulates the book's content.

Through an exploration of China's political and economic system, the author concisely depicts the fundamental approach of local governments to economic governance. He argues that the Chinese government, through its deep involvement in the processes of industrialization and urbanization, has gradually promoted the establishment and improvement of market mechanisms while developing the economy, achieving an economic miracle in a manner distinct from the experience of so-called developed countries. Based on a review and analysis of the reform process and social contradictions, the author also interprets the current market-oriented reforms and government transformation, helping readers to better understand the realities of China's development.
