Mr. LIU Xu-yi's Academic Experience

Mr. LIU Xu-yi is a senior scholar of American history and sociology who is known in China and abroad. He is generally recognized as an authority on the study of FDR'S New Deal throughout the country, and has made creative contribution to the development and prosperity of New China's American history research. By and large, his academic experience has undergone two stages. Before the liberation of China, he sought after the reason why China could not be industrialized or modernized in so long a time, and explored the possible approaches to transform the Chinese semi-feudal and semi-colonial society into industrialized or modernized society. After the liberation, his research work still deals with the developmental problems of Chinese society occasionally, but from 1964, focuses on the new rules of the development of post-Lenin monopoly capitalism which is typified by the developmental process of the American monopoly capitalist society.
