Chapter 3 Preface 3 Looking to the future with a historical perspective

Looking back at history, every national revitalization requires a huge change beyond the times, which is the driving force.Different routes lead to the same goal, and a successful strategy for governing the country must constantly evolve with changes in its own national strength and the external environment.Nothing is static, things are always running in and developing. Learn from history.In today's China, which has just washed away its century-old humiliation and regained its rapid development, today, with its socialist system and development foundation with Chinese characteristics, after experiencing painstaking and arduous exploration, on the historical journey where the dream of a great power rises and the trap of economic development intertwines , my country's economic development has gone through two stages of hard work and economic take-off, and basically realized the two "Chinese dreams" of "four modernizations" and "moderately prosperous society".So how to grasp the historical opportunity in front of us, how to achieve the Chinese Dream 3.0 in the middle of the 21st century, in which the per capita income exceeds that of moderately developed countries, the economic aggregate surpasses that of the United States, and finally the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is undoubtedly placed on the government, A must-answer question for scholars and every Chinese.

From Adam Smith's "big market, light government" to the continuous improvement of the status of government functions in the market economy; Stimulate thinking: How should the socialist market economic model created by our country gradually mature?How to rely on its inherent superiority to become the mainstream of the country's economic development model in the next 50 years? Only by not sticking to the established ideology, breaking the stereotypes and bad habits, and constantly exploring and breaking through with dialectical vision and pragmatic thinking can we clear the fog; only by adhering to the attitude of advancing with the times and making learning and innovation a habit can we create a country Lasting economic vitality and eternal competitiveness finally find the broad road to leapfrog change and lead to glory.

I have known Yu Dong for several years.As a young scholar and economist, he is erudite about the past and the present, integrating the east and the west. He is good at seeing the small details in the vast and complicated history, explaining the past and discussing the present, and looking for the truth behind the economic phenomena in the minutiae. As a young A rising star in economics, he has extensive experience and has worked all over the world. He returned to China to serve his hometown with a pure heart.His writing is concise and simple, less artificial, and his writing is just like his own.

Yu Dong's book summarizes the history, compares and analyzes the commonality and individuality in the history of economic development in China and the world, and objectively summarizes the unchanging truth of development that modern China has been pursuing for 150 years from multiple perspectives.In this book, on the one hand, Yu Dong put forward a "vertical but jumping aggregate supply model" on the basis of "learning economy", explaining and summarizing the law of social and economic development and change in a rather long period of time. It is his thinking and wisdom as an economist; on the other hand, Yu Dong compares the law of economic development on the basis of a large amount of data research and practice, and strives to prove that the model of "learning society and innovation economy" is the model that can carry China in the next 50 years. The theoretical basis of economics for governance and development, and his advice for my country's economic development in this eloquent testament to his sincerity and heart for the people and the country.

Focusing on people's livelihood and benefiting the people, economics will leave a more stable footprint on the evolution of the laws of human social and economic development. "Long-term things should be seen in the long-term." When we have the courage and ability to examine history, expectations should spread further. Hope that one day, this book can be translated into English and shared with overseas readers.
