该书梳理了过去30余年中国经济体制改革的基本逻辑，指出当前中国改革的新语境。提出在这个新语境下的改革思考，强调增强改革定力、保持改革韧劲和持续推进改革的重要性。在全球制度竞争与改革竞争的大背景下持续推进自身改革，可以说是中国改革最重要的逻辑。

This book sorts out the basic logic of China's reform of the economic system over the past 30 years, and points out the new context of China's current reforms. It also proposes the line of thought on reform in this new context, and emphasizes the importance of strengthening the concentration of reform, maintaining the tenacity of the reform and continuing to promote reform. The continuous promotion of reform in the context of global institutional competition and reform competition could be said to be the most important logic of China's reform.
