Economic Law (Fifth Edition)

Summary
Editor's review
From an editor's perspective, the book's core value lies in the balance it strikes between "theoretical depth" and "practical relevance." The editors not only trace the historical development of economic law and the scholarly debates surrounding it, but also draw on a wealth of typical cases and judicial practice to translate abstract statutory provisions into perceptible applications of legal rules. In the "Market Regulation Law" section, for example, recent antitrust cases involving internet platforms are used to illustrate vividly how the law responds to the challenges of new economic forms. This approach lifts the book above the stereotype of the traditional textbook and makes it an excellent window onto the progress of China's economic rule of law.
For readers, the updates in this fifth edition are especially timely. With the introduction of new rules such as the Personal Information Protection Law and the Data Security Law, the field of economic law is undergoing rapid change. The book's absorption and interpretation of these developments ensure that its knowledge is current and forward-looking. Whether law students are building a body of knowledge or practitioners are updating their understanding of practice, the book offers solid and clear guidance. Its language is concise and restrained, and its logic advances layer by layer, reflecting the editors' deep scholarly grounding and teaching experience.
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Undergraduate and graduate students in law, economics, management, and related fields, as a core-course textbook or supplementary reading
- Legal practitioners such as lawyers, in-house counsel, and regulators who need to systematically update their knowledge of economic law
- General readers interested in business operations, market regulation, financial compliance, and similar areas who wish to build a systematic understanding
- Candidates preparing for the National Unified Legal Profession Qualification Examination or other relevant exams, seeking to consolidate their grounding in economic law theory
Not a good fit for
- Casual readers seeking light, accessible reading who lack the patience for statutory provisions and theoretical analysis
- Practitioners who only need operational details on one very specific, narrow subfield of economic law (such as a single tax type)
Reading tips
- Read the "Chapter Introduction" at the beginning and the "Chapter Summary" at the end of each chapter first to grasp the chapter's core structure and key points
- Read the statutory provisions and cases cited in the book as extended reading to deepen your understanding of how theory is applied in practice
- Pay attention to the editors' commentary on recent legislative developments (such as antitrust in the platform economy); this content is highly relevant to the present day
