spContent=New structural economics applies the Marxist ideas, namely the various industrial and technological structures in countries are endogenous to varying degrees of development, to the analytical framework of contemporary mainstream economics. Acting as a structural revolution, it offers many new viewpoints and explanations to all of the sub-fields of modern economics. These new perspectives and insights not only help us to better understand economic development and transformation — as well as the economic laws of countries at varying degrees of development — they also effectively realize “integrating knowledge and achievement”, which is of benefit to both China’s revival and the growth of a multitude of other developing countries.
