Chapter 1,437 Cases Studied

2020 is destined to be the most unusual year of this century.

The countdown to the US election has entered the final three days. Origin has arrived at the edge of the solar system and has been orbiting along the Kuiper Belt for less than half a month. The dawn of the new century has already risen. While everyone is eagerly looking forward to the dawn and longing for the better life in the next era, the accumulated corruption and contradictions of the old era are on the verge of being released.

The whole world is waiting for the American people to make a choice. From the beginning to the end, this election battle has occupied the top of the global hot news.

Cambridge, Massachusetts, a world-famous institution of higher learning.

Sitting in a corner of the library, Frank Dobbin was looking at the Wall Street Journal in his hand with a frown.

As a professor in the Department of Social Sciences at Harvard University and a leader in the contemporary "Legal and Economics School of Theory", his many social economics works enjoy high acclaim internationally. And unlike most sociology professors from the theoretical school, his research direction is closer to reality than empty theories, and he pays attention to the value of theory in practical application.

It is precisely for this reason that his classes are not only very popular among Harvard students, but also very popular among large and medium-sized enterprises. His lesson plans are not only studied repeatedly by social science students, but are also read as reference books by many corporate management departments.

To be precise, what Frank Dobbin was watching closely at this moment was one of the reports on the Star Ring trade.

Recently, the media in the United States has been dominated by Origin. Whether it is a serious scientific journal or a seemingly unrelated financial weekly, the recent articles are more or less related to "Origin", "Star Circle Trade", and "New Country" Create a certain connection.

The reason why he has such a strong interest in this report is mainly because he has recently been writing a new book, which combines various social forms today to analyze the current problems in the two major topics of society and economy and the relationship between them. contact, and at the same time predict the future social and economic forms to a certain extent.

The Xinguo and Star Ring trade is a very important typical case in his upcoming new book.

In Xinghuan Trading, he saw the final form of the development of the capitalism that dominates the Western world and the state capitalism advocated by Lenin - that is, an abnormally developed enterprise that can survive without reaction. Under the constraints of monopoly laws, they will eventually brutally merge all industries and fields that may produce surplus value, and eventually "merge" the government itself into a part of the enterprise...

Prediction is something that academia all over the world likes to do.

As a tidbit of a huge work, moderate predictions can not only improve the level of the entire work, but also provide a certain degree of guidance for the future. And even if you guess wrong, it doesn’t matter. After all, the limitations of the thinking and vision of “people in the past” will be understandable to those who study history in the future.

And if you guess it right, that would be a big deal.

Not only will the style of the entire work be infinitely elevated, but the author himself will also be amazed...

Of course, Frank Dobbin was not thinking that far ahead when writing the book at hand. He is thinking very seriously about this issue at the moment, about what Western social economics can gain from the rise of the star ring trade, and about the future prospects of the star ring trade model.

"Still studying that topic?"

Holding coffee, Christopher Grandi sat opposite him. As a scholar in the same field, his research directions are very similar to those of Professor Frank Dobbin, and the two often discuss certain issues. Professor Grandi had the opportunity to read the manuscript of the book that had not yet been published, and he quite agreed with some of its views.

Except for one thing, that is about the new country.

"The new country's model is worth learning from. It may not apply to the entire United States, but it will apply to the future. This model briefly appeared in the colonies of Britain, the Netherlands and other countries before the 18th century.

And was eventually eliminated by history for its own reasons. This system, which has many problems of its own, will be revived in the 21st century, and its underlying reasons are worth pondering..."

As he spoke, Frank Dobbin wrote this passage in the notebook next to him. However, for some reason, when he was halfway through writing, he stopped writing, shook his head, and crossed out this line from the manuscript paper.

"There are many coincidences in the rise of the new country. If you want to summarize the advantages and disadvantages of a certain social system by studying the development history of the Star Ring Trade, the final result will definitely disappoint you," Professor Grandi said while sipping a cup of coffee, "Because the advantage of the Star Ring trade does not come from their system at all, but from their leadership in the fields of science and technology."

"Then my dear friend, why is Starlink Trading able to achieve a leading position in the field of science and technology?" Professor Dobbin smiled and asked casually.

"Maybe it's just luck." Professor Grundy shrugged.

"Luck?" Frank Dobbin shook his head with a smile and closed his notebook. "I plan to go to the new country in person. Just sitting in the library, you and I may never be able to figure this out."

"It would be the same even if I go," Christopher Grandi said. "Last year I went to Coro University with the Harvard Academic Exchange Group. I also visited the president of Coro University and discussed this issue with him."

"What was the final conclusion?" Frank Dobbin raised his eyebrows.

"There is no conclusion. We cannot find any case in history that can define the rise of the Star Ring Trade." Professor Grandi shook his head.

"Because you have mistaken the person you are discussing with. If it were me, I would directly visit Jiang Chen."

Seeing that his friend had no intention of changing his mind, Professor Grandy sighed.

"The president of the University of Coro is Raphael Leif. When we were doing academic exchanges at MIT, I got along quite well with him. I will write you a letter of introduction. If you want to meet Jiang Chen, You can ask him for help.”

"Thank you." Frank Dobbin said gratefully.

"You're welcome."

Jiang Chen, who was far away on the other side of the Pacific, would never have imagined how much of a shock the Origin of Futureman Heavy Industries would bring to the world on the other side of the Pacific. This kind of shock is not limited to the talk among ordinary people. Social science majors in major universities and colleges have used the Star Ring trade as a typical case study. Aerospace companies concentrated in Silicon Valley, Boston, and Florida have focused on the future of human beings. Trade with Star Ring is regarded as the target of pursuit...

At this moment, it is still early morning in Koro Island.

Jiang Chen, who was sitting at the dining table, also saw the report published in the Wall Street Journal...
