This book starts from "human behavior" and divides all members of a society (or a country) into three major social groups: political power (group), capital (group) and people (group). Accordingly, the process of a society (or a country) moving from history to the future step by step can be described as the process of continuous evolution and interaction of these three social groups. Based on this novel idea, this book reorganizes the historical process of thousands of years between the East and the West and reveals the different logics of the evolution of social governance systems in the East and West. Since the Middle Ages, capital-centeredness has always been the basic logic of the evolution of Western social governance systems, until today's capitalism. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China's social governance system has generally followed a people-centered logical evolution until today's socialism with Chinese characteristics. Regarding today's "great changes unseen in a century," this book concisely and rigorously discusses "the ebb and flow of capitalism and socialism." In this way, the bright prospects for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation are self-evident. As for the great power game between China and the United States, it is summarized as "the interaction between the 'world factory' and the 'world banker'"; a few words, but a far-reaching artistic conception.

This time he will give you a thorough introduction to the historical classic "Historical Records". Under the author Wen Boling's pen, "Historical Records" is no longer the general interpretation that you usually see, "Liu Bang was able to accomplish things because he knew how to employ people" and "The Qin Dynasty fell because Qin II was mediocre and cruel."

Coupled with the author's "historical joker" style of funny writing, you will gain knowledge while laughing and easily understand "Historical Records".
