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.
