Examined by Mr. Li Yining himself, the forty articles included in this book present a panorama of the forty years since China adopted the reform and opening-up policy. The issues range from the reform of the Chinese economic system to the challenges and chances encountered in this process, from China&s agricultural and industrial reform to education and management closely related to economy. A crystallization of Mr. Li&s thesis during the past four decades, the book sheds light on future economic reform and development in the country.
