Based on solid research, Jingji Xue presents how Economics, as a thought as well as an intellectual discipline, had been introduced to China. It identifies the Chinese who studied Economics in the West and evaluates their roles in teaching, research, and publication in China. Particularly, it describes and examines the activities of Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, Sun Yat-sen, and Yan Fu et al. in transmitting and interpreting Western Economics. The evolution of Economics programme in leading universities in China is also discussed.
Paul B. Trescott had been teaching economics in the U.S. and in China. He was Chair of Economics of Kenyon College, and Director of Graduate Studies (Economics) of Southern Illinois University. He is now Professor Emeritus of Economics of SIU.
