About the author

于杨曜 Author

Yu Yangyao — public information about this author is limited, and what can currently be confirmed centers mainly on a single work. The representative work is Economic Law (Second Edition), classified under finance and economics, which suggests the author has some editorial experience in this field and has taken part in revising textbook-style material. Judging from the title and category, the book is likely intended as a systematic introduction to the fundamentals of economic law, possibly covering areas such as economic legal systems, market regulation, and macroeconomic control, while staying connected to practical finance and business affairs. Since only one work is held in the collection, the author's biography, institutional affiliation, and research focus cannot be verified and should not be guessed at. As for the work itself, the appearance of a "Second Edition" indicates that the first edition was used and subsequently refined, making the book a suitable reference for understanding the framework of economic law. Readers should consult the latest laws and regulations alongside supplementary materials to grasp the current state of the relevant rules.
