Summary

Mineral resources are a precious gift of nature and the material foundation on which humanity depends for survival. They must be developed and utilized rationally, and trading in mining rights must be regulated. Because Guangxi had never formulated market benchmark prices for mining rights, related research remained a blank. In accordance with national policy documents, from July 1, 2017, all mining rights within Guangxi could no longer be transferred, and mineral resources could not be allocated. Mining is one of the pillar industries of Guangxi's national economic development, and its healthy development is an important cornerstone of Guangxi's social development. If mining rights cannot be transferred and mineral resources cannot be allocated, the supply and demand of mineral products and raw materials will be severely unbalanced, directly affecting the development of all sectors. Therefore, formulating market benchmark prices for mining rights in Guangxi is an urgent need for effectively advancing the reform of the mineral resource royalty system in Guangxi, and a major means of resolving the problem of mineral resource allocation in Guangxi and safeguarding the sustained and healthy development of Guangxi's economy and society. Against this background, this book studies and formulates the market benchmark prices of transfer proceeds for mining rights of major minerals and exploration rights of all minerals in Guangxi, providing scientific recommendations for the issuance of documents on market benchmark prices of transfer proceeds for mining rights in Guangxi, a legal basis for the floor prices of mining rights transfer in Guangxi, and a scientific basis for the introduction of policies on market benchmark prices of mining rights in Guangxi, making outstanding contributions and providing foundational support for safeguarding the state's rights and interests as the owner of mineral resources and for the healthy and sustained development of Guangxi's local mining economy.

Editor's review

Price Determines Mining Prosperity is an in-depth study situated at the intersection of the history and present reality of China's mining development. Drawing on his solid geological background and economic perspective, author Wei Dongliang systematically traces the internal logic linking mineral resource pricing mechanisms to the rise and fall of national industry. The book's core value lies in breaking through the single technical perspective of traditional mining research, examining price formation mechanisms through multiple dimensions including macroeconomic transformation, international geopolitics, and sustainable development. Particularly compelling are the case analyses of changes in key mineral pricing policies since the founding of the People's Republic of China, which reveal the complex and subtle interaction between the 'invisible hand' and the 'visible hand' in the resource sector. Reading this book not only provides professional knowledge of mineral economics but also deepens understanding of how resource pricing becomes a hidden lever affecting national strategic security and industrial competitiveness. For readers concerned with China's industrialization process, resource strategy, or economic transformation, this is an excellent work combining historical value with intellectual depth.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Researchers and students interested in resource economics, industrial policy, or industrial history
Professionals in mining, energy, investment, and related fields who wish to understand industry logic from a macro perspective
Policy researchers and observers concerned with the relationship between China's economic development model and resource strategy
Advanced undergraduates or graduate students interested in interdisciplinary (geology + economics) research paradigms

Not a good fit for

Pure engineering and technical readers seeking only mineral extraction techniques or specific operational guides
General leisure readers expecting light reading or novel-style narrative

Reading tips

It is recommended to first read the preface and table of contents to grasp the book's 'price-development' analytical framework before delving into chapter details
While reading, consider the contemporary implications of the book's historical analysis in light of the current global energy transition and competition for critical minerals
The book involves considerable economic terminology and policy background; preparing notes or supplementary materials will help deepen understanding

FAQ

What is the main argument of this book?

The core argument of this book is that the pricing mechanism of mineral resources is by no means a simple matter of market supply and demand, but a strategic lever that profoundly influences and even determines the rise and fall of a country's mining industry, its industrial capacity, and even its economic security. The process of price formation and adjustment involves a complex interplay of technology, capital, policy, and international relations.

Do I need a strong foundation in economics or geology to understand it?

The author balances professionalism with readability, providing necessary explanations of key concepts. A basic understanding of economics helps, but readers without a geology background can still grasp the core logic through reading. The book focuses more on mechanism and logic analysis rather than esoteric technical details.

What is the value of the book's historical materials and case studies?

The book systematically organizes and analyzes important mineral pricing policy cases from several key periods since the founding of the People's Republic of China (such as the planned economy period, the early reform and opening-up period, and after WTO accession). The historical materials are relatively detailed and offer high reference value for studying the history of China's industrial economy and the evolution of resource policy.

About the author

韦栋梁 Author

Public information about Wei Dongliang is currently limited; his nationality, dates of birth and death, educational background, and professional career are not clearly documented. According to the available bibliographic records, he has one work, Price Determines Mining Prosperity, which is classified under finance and economics. This suggests that his writing touches on economic and industrial topics and concerns the relationship between price mechanisms and the development of the mining industry. Because verifiable material is scarce, it is not yet possible to confirm his professional identity or the full scope of his writing, nor to judge whether the work is the product of long-term research or a more occasional effort. On the available evidence, Wei Dongliang's writing is characterized by approaching finance and economics through a specific industry, and may be of interest to readers concerned with resource economics and price issues. Further material would help present a fuller picture of him as an author.

吴城明 Author

Wu Chengming is an author about whom limited public information is available. The only verifiable record shows that one work by this author, Price Setting and Mining Prosperity (Jia Ding Kuang Xing), is held in the collection and is classified under finance and economics. On the strength of a single title alone, it is difficult to sketch a full picture of the author's writing or professional background, and details such as nationality, dates of birth and death, education, career history and honors cannot be confirmed; speculation about the author's life should therefore be avoided. The available clues suggest that Wu Chengming's writing focuses on finance and economics, with attention to price formation mechanisms and their connection to mineral resources and the mining economy, giving the work a clear industrial-economic character. The title itself indicates an attempt to relate price, a core market variable, to the rise and fall of mining, in a style oriented toward practical analysis and discussion of mechanisms rather than general surveys of finance. For readers interested in resource-based industries and pricing issues, the book can serve as an entry point to these topics, while the author's other writings and later activities await further public information.

申浩原 Author

Shen Haoyuan is an author about whom limited public information is available. One work is known under this name: the finance and economics book Price Determines the Rise of Mining. Judging from the title and its common classification, the book examines the relationship between prices and the development of the mining industry, falling within the field of financial and economic writing and likely touching on resource pricing, market operation, and the rise and fall of industries. Since the author's nationality, dates of birth and death, educational background, professional experience, and English name have not been reliably recorded, this introduction makes no inferences and offers only an objective account of the work. As the only confirmed work in the database, Price Determines the Rise of Mining reflects the author's attention to resource economics and price mechanisms; the writing appears oriented toward practical analysis and discussion of key issues, aimed at readers interested in finance and mining. Given the limited material, the author's broader body of work and influence await further information.
