本书是是兰小欢多年教学、调研与研究内容的凝练，将经济学原理与中国经济发展的实践有机融合，以地方政府投融资为主线，深入浅出地论述了中国经济的发展，笔触简练客观，并广泛采纳了各领域学者的最新研究成果。全书分上下两篇。上篇解释微观机制，包括地方政府的基本事务、收支、土地融资和开发、投资和债务等；下篇解释这些微观行为与宏观现象的联系，包括城市化和工业化、房价、地区差异、债务风险、国内经济结构失衡、国际贸易冲突等。最后一章提炼和总结全书内容。
通过对中国政治经济体系的论述，作者简明地刻画了地方政府进行经济治理的基本方式，并指出，中国政府通过深度介入工业化和城市化的进程，在发展经济的同时逐步推动了市场机制的建立和完善，以一种有别于所谓发达国家经验的方式实现了经济奇迹。基于对改革历程与社会矛盾的回顾与分析，作者也在书中对当前推进的市场化改革与政府转型进行了解读，帮助读者增进对中国发展现实的把握。

The United States is the richest country on earth, yet has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. One in seven Americans live below the poverty line, a line which hasn't shifted over the last fifty years, despite the efforts of successive governments and extensive relief programs. Why is there so much scarcity in this land of dollars?
In Poverty, by America, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond examines the nature of American poverty today and the stories we tell ourselves about it. Spanning racism, social isolation, mass incarceration, the housing crisis, domestic violence, crack and opioid epidemics, welfare cuts and more, Desmond argues that poverty does not result from a lack of resources or good policy ideas. We already know how to eliminate it. The hard part is getting more of us to care.
To do so, we need a new story. As things stand, liberals explain poverty through insurmountable structural issues, whereas conservatives highlight personal failings and poor life choices. Both analyses abdicate responsibility, and ignore the reality that the advantages of the rich only come at the expense of the poor. It is time better-paid citizens put themselves back in the narrative, recognizing that the depth and expanse of poverty in any nation reflects our failure to look out for one another. Poverty must ultimately be met by community: all this suffering and want is our doing, and we can undo it.
