About the author

Xu Jin is a Chinese author whose works span finance and economics, management, education, and politics. Publicly available information about her is limited, and her background, identity, and specific experience remain unclear. Judging from the four works included in the collection, her writing addresses both broad real-world issues and practical matters concerning current affairs and youth work. A Brief History of Money: From Shells, Gold and Silver to Digital Currency traces the evolution of money in an accessible way; The Soft Class: Seeking a Ladder Upward in an Age of Uncertainty focuses on social mobility and individual development; and the two titles on becoming an outstanding university youth league cadre and on league branch work are practical guides for university Communist Youth League work. Overall, her writing combines knowledge popularization with hands-on reference, serving readers interested in finance, young students, and grassroots league workers.
