This book is an output generated in a major project of the Key Research Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences of the Ministry of Education in 2010. Under the support of the school leaders and the help of people from all walks of life, ICFS members have successively completed three volumes of this work with about 16 million words after eight-year efforts. The style of the three volumes is as follows: according to the principle of "having profound attainments and cutting-edge in academic thoughts", volumes I and II have selected representatives in the financial field in the centennial period, and combed through their academic thoughts, theoretical viewpoints and policies through summarizing their essence and evaluating the value. Based on the academic trends of finance and the historical financial facts with academic content, volume III is summarized into 17 topics to give review and evaluation. It shows the academic views and propositions of the main schools in the field of economy and finance since the 1911 Revolution, boasting high theoretical value. Thanks to its publication, financial theories have seen their development and extension, and there is no blank in the study of financial theory in China. It is of great significance to promote the reform and development of China's financial industry, to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects and to promote the revitalization of the Chinese nation.
