As early as the 15th year of Yongxing, the famous Dahua economist Zhang Jiuzhu's book "The Wealth of Nations" was published.

The first printing of the book reached one million copies, and more than 80% had been ordered in advance, and only less than 200,000 copies were able to flow into the market.

There are many reasons for this achievement.

First of all, Zhang Jiuzhu's reputation is big enough. In the past few years, he has continuously published articles in the Dahua Economic Weekly and put forward a series of subtle points, which have won the approval of many people and accumulated many fans.

Secondly, it is because the economy is the most concerned issue of Dahua now, and the degree of attention has even surpassed the foreign war.

The economy is the most important indicator of local officials' assessment. In order to improve the local economy, those officials are also racking their brains.

Those who subscribe to Economic Weekly are not businessmen, but officials.

Wars have existed since ancient times, and everyone has studied them for thousands of years, and it is not rare for a long time.

However, economics is a concept that has only appeared in the last ten years, with high enthusiasm and little research.

As soon as any research results come out, it naturally attracts attention.

After a lot of research, Zhang Jiuzhu finally organized and unified his views, and finally wrote this theory of the wealth of the country.

The content refers to the fundamental reason or deep-seated reason for a country’s becoming prosperous.

According to the original historical development, the first to make this research was Adam Smith in the eighteenth century.

There is nothing more to Adam Smith now. Dahua’s rapid economic development has given birth to a large number of complex economic phenomena, which naturally urges people to study.

In this process, some talents will naturally emerge.

Zhang Jiuzhu's theory of the wealth of nations was released, which also shows that the Chinese are by no means stupid than people of any ethnic group.

As long as there is a suitable environment, talents in this field can be nurtured.

After the advent of the Wealth of Nations, it became a holy book in the hands of many businessmen and officials, and even became their guiding ideology in governing and doing business.

Once they encounter problems, they will look for answers in the wealth of nations.

In recent years, the rapid development of Dahua's economy has played a positive role in the wealth of nations theory.

By July of the eighteenth year of Yongxing, the circulation of The Wealth of Nations had reached 5 million copies.

However, this time the theory of the wealth of nations has been challenged.

Another economist, Chen He, published his book "Das Kapital".

Compared with the theory of the wealth of nations, the theory of capital sees the depth of the problem more profoundly.

The Wealth of Nations only discusses the relationship between things, while Capitalism discusses the relationship between people through representation.

The Wealth of Nations trumpets the benefits of a free economy, but the Capitalism profoundly reveals the unavoidable dangers of capitalism. And, from this inferred a more advanced social form than capitalism.

For some truly smart people, it is actually easier to judge that the theory of capital is more correct than the theory of the wealth of nations.

However, after the advent of Capital, its sales are far inferior to the wealth of nations.

One hundred thousand copies were published for the first time, but none of them are sold out.

On the one hand, it is because Chen He is not as famous as Zhang Jiuzhu, on the other hand, it is also because the theory of capital is too advanced.

Although the examples used for argumentation in his book are also present in the society, the number is not large.

At least, the current big Chinese have absolutely no signs of a crisis in the economy of this society.

The economic trend of this society is good. The examples cited by Chen He are just a few examples and not representative.

In the mainstream view, Chen He's book is somewhat taken for granted. Many of these arguments are derived from logic and lack evidence to support them.

In fact, Chen He does not have 100% confidence in his own writings.

Although he logically deduced that the free economy will definitely break out an economic crisis, this kind of crisis has not appeared in Dahua for a long time.

Of course, he is not to blame.

The main reason was that he met Wu Changqing's opponent. Before the economic crisis broke out in the society, Wu Changqing took some measures to avoid the emergence of such a crisis.

What makes Chen He even more depressed is that he was also taken to prison because of this work.

No way, after all, Dahua is a monarchy now.

In this book by Chen He, he claims that there is a social system that is superior to monarchy.

What do you want to do? Want to call on the workers and peasants to overthrow the rule of the **** emperor?

This kind of speech is also at the expense of the current Dahua freedom of speech, and the social atmosphere is extremely open.

If it was set aside, a charge of rebellion would definitely be indispensable.

But now, the court's trial of Chen He is ‘false rhetoric’ and he is punished to publicly admit in the newspaper that the Capital is not perfect. It is just a personal conjecture, and there are still many mistakes.

This kind of punishment can be said to be too light.

The reason why the sentence was so light was actually because everyone only regarded Chen He's remarks as a joke.

Just like in the 21st century, someone wrote a book saying that humans and animals should be equal and that dogs should not be eaten. At best, everyone would treat him as a joke, instead of thinking that he wanted to lead the dogs on the earth to rebel and create a person. A world where dogs are equal.

In the current Dahua, everyone feels that Wu Changqing is the emperor and it is only natural for him to be superior.

Not many people feel that they and Wu Changqing should be equal.

Just as most people in later generations feel that humans are better than other animals.

Chen He was punished, but he didn't feel much resentment.

He himself understood that his remarks were a bit too much. However, his research supports his idea, and this is what makes him painful.

After he was released from prison, Chen He continued his research. He wanted to perfect the theory of capital so as to explain all economic phenomena so that others could not refute it.

There are still several people like Chen He who have made some ‘inappropriate’ remarks.

For example, the great thinker Yuan Jie wrote a book on "The Origin and Foundation of Human Inequality", which talked about why there are classes in human society.

However, this book has been resisted by Dahua's current mainstream thinking.

Moreover, Yuan Jie was also arrested.

It was Li Yao of the Supreme Court, the important minister of Dahua, who tried him.

Li Yao didn't say that Yuan Jie's view was wrong, but that Yuan Jie's view was meaningless and did not benefit Dahua but only disadvantages.

With the development of the economy, Dahua's ideological circle is also developing rapidly.

Some of them began to think about the issue of human equality.

Of course, these people can't make any waves at the moment, in the eyes of most people they are heretics.

Dahua is fine now, why should I want to change it?

To put it bluntly, most people are unwilling to change the status quo until Dahua is not in economic crisis or begins to weaken.

These thinkers are destined to be alone.
