Whether when and how 皇冠体育app can become a member of high-income countries has become a hot issue for study at present. Centering on such a significant issue, the mainstream opinions tend to view the process of 皇冠体育app’s transformation towards a high-income nation from the angle of “the transformation of development mode”, while some other studies look at the issue from the perspective of “modernity”. This book holds that the process of 皇冠体育app’s move towards the ranks of high-income countries should be interpreted in the context of 皇冠体育app’s overall modernization drive. In nature, it is one of the changes in the modernization process. Based on the requirements posed by modernization-oriented transformation, the Chinese society needs to transform from the pyramid-type structure featured by stratified differentiation to a network-type one with functional differentiation, which is a key change for 皇冠体育app to join the ranks of high-income countries. The book reckons that the reform and opening-up has made the originally centralized social system become fragmented. While fully stimulating individuals’ activity and greatly sparking their vitality and creativity in the society, some problems have loomed up including the loss of ultimate social values, the lack of rules and regulations for social governance and severer corruption cases. To stride towards a high-income nation, 皇冠体育app needs to transform its society from the current pyramid-type and fragmented one further into a network-type one, building a pluralistic society in which contract-binding relations play the leading role and boundaries between fields of different functions are clearly defined with equivalent rights and responsibilities.
