The Treatise on Salt and Iron is considered a book of wisdom for governing the country. The book mentions the state monopoly on salt, iron and alcohol, and uses this as an excuse to conduct comprehensive thinking around all aspects of national governance, including politics, economy, culture, customs, trade, finance, people's livelihood, officials... All areas of national governance are all deeply considered in the book. These wisdom and ideas that transcend the times, after 2,000 years of experience, are more valuable for reference today.
Reader comments
It is worth reading again and again. The circulation of this book can prove that our ancestors had a set of economic and political theories before 2000. The Theory of Salt and Iron is no worse than those of Western economics, and has great benefits. I will read it again in a few days.

As far as the content is concerned, with the ancient and extraordinary article "On Salt and Iron" as the cornerstone, its value is naturally unparalleled.
In terms of language, the whole book is harmonious and easy to understand, and there is no reading threshold. If you want to cultivate your interest in economics, this book is an option.
From an academic point of view, this book has well-argued arguments, appropriate discussion, and is short in length. It is also a good material for those who need to study the history of salt and iron government operations and the economic structure of our country.
All in all, you can't go wrong reading it
The author breaks down the core viewpoints of "The Treatise on Salt and Iron" to interpret it. I think it is very valuable. It's a pity that the author's knowledge and structure are too small, which makes the following content basically unreadable. In the end, I still have to read the original book. If you have led a team, you will know that many times, the optimal solution is equal to no solution. What we deal with is between teams, between superior teams and subordinate teams. No one can have the final say on everything, and the boss will not have the final say on unimportant details, which is meaningless and a waste of time.
For a country, the two most important capabilities are military and financial. From a contemporary perspective, "Salt and Iron Theory" is as important to the financial capacity of feudal countries as the current state's control over core industries such as energy and chips. It means the state's control over the most core livelihood undertakings of the people and the iron smelting industry that affects the development of private forces. Therefore, as the author of this book says, "On Salt and Iron" is actually an important treatise on the relationship between the state and society.
As we all know, salt and iron in ancient times were not in the same state as today. The salt and iron government camp has always been a very important economic policy in ancient times. It not only ensured the most basic living needs of the people, but also made the government's income more stable and the economy grew faster. But the reasons behind this policy are far more than that simple. This book explains this matter to us very well. He analyzes this matter for us from a very deep level. I recommend everyone to read it and experience it.
