本书是主要研究当代中国经济的学者们在各自的研究领域中,从历史的视角重新认识当代中国经济的论文集。此处所称的“从历史的视角重新认识”主要是重新探讨20世纪以后(书中也收录了追溯至清代前期的论文)中国经济的发展历程。关于这一尝试的意图,编著者在序章中列举了亚历山大·格申克龙的“后发优势”与道格拉斯·诺斯的“路径依赖”等 This book is a collection of essays that mainly studies contemporary Chinese economists in their respective fields of study and re-understanding of contemporary Chinese economy from a historical perspective. The so-called “re-understanding from the perspective of history” mainly revisits the development course of the Chinese economy after the 20th century (the book also contains essays dating back to the early Qing Dynasty). With regard to the intent of this attempt, the editors listed Alexander Gerschenkon’s “lateness advantage” and Douglas North’s “path dependence” in the preface
