Comparative Study on the Promotion of Common Prosperity

Extensive Global Coverage with Comparative Insight
This volume examines more than 15 countries through a structured and in-depth analysis of national approaches to common prosperity. Few titles provide such a comprehensive and methodical country-by-country review of wealth creation and distribution.

A Distinctive Perspective Rooted in Chinese Scholarship
Authored by leading scholars from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the book presents a rare and valuable viewpoint that brings a non-Western understanding to global discussions on social policy and governance. This is particularly relevant for audiences across the Global South.

Integrating Policy Practice with Academic Theory
Rather than offering descriptive overviews alone, the book connects theoretical frameworks with real-world policy lessons and institutional practices. It is especially valuable for academic research and practical policy design.

Centred on Economic Equity and Social Justice
While other works often focus broadly on political systems or narrowly on sector specific welfare policies, this study places common prosperity at the heart of its analysis, addressing one of the most pressing issues in global development today.

Rich Data and Visually Accessible

With 94 charts, tables, and figures, the book presents complex information in a clear and accessible format. This makes it a strong resource for educators, researchers, and policy professionals alike.
