Based on extensive research, Jingji Xue considers how economics, as a concept as well as an intellectual discipline, was introduced and developed in China. Paul B. Trescott identifies the Chinese who studied economics in the West and evaluates their roles in teaching, research, and publication in China. In particular, he describes and examines the activities of Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, Sun Yat-sen, and Yan Fu in transmitting and interpreting Western economics. The evolution of economics programs in leading Chinese universities is also discussed.
