Part 1 Extremes of poverty and wealth: the Matthew effect; the limitations of backwardness. Part 2 Contradictory reality: staggering poverty; staggering wealth. Part 3 The intrinsic determinant of backwardness: untapped wealth; two-way initiative; quality of human resources; social development. Part 4 The way out?: the greater the blood transfusion, the worse the anaemia; infrastructure in the vanguard?; structure of targets. Part 5 Reform: encircling the cities from the countryside?; urban reform as the initial breakthrough point; advantageous conditions for reform; the direction of the breakthrough in reform - circulation; "time and place" reform strategy. Part 6 A hundred enterprises at the ready, one to take the lead: goals and limitations; imports create more imports; undiversified exploitation at a superficial level; information and the economy. Part 7 An open conclusion: strengthening the role of government; bringing in and utilizing skilled personnel; new towns from scratch; nationalism and religion; two children argue over the sun.
