民贵君轻，政在养民——中国制度中的民本思想（英）

"天安门前的 “华表”来自于上古帝王尧舜用来倾听民意的谤木，是古代帝王执政为民的标志。它时刻提醒执政者，无论时代如何变迁，都必须坚持为人民服务。中国五千年的历史周期律，是一部历代王朝兴亡演替的循环史。鉴于对天地之道及国家兴衰成败经验的总结，古人很早就提出“民贵君轻，政在养民”的民本思想，将民心向背作为政权合法性的专享来源。民本思想作为中国传统治道思想的重要组成部分，不仅在中国绵延千年的大一统政治中发挥了重要作用，并作为一以贯之的政道传统传承至今。 "

“民贵君轻，政在养民”是中国古代民本思想和治国经验的集大成，是历朝历代维系中华广袤国土和多民族国家长治久安的大经大法。纵观历史更迭，每个朝代的兴衰成败都与当时统治阶层和百姓的关系息息相关。本书通过历史上真实发生的故事，说明为政者就要从一体之仁出发，以百姓之心为心，在政治上爱民重民，在经济上富民利民，在文化上教民安民，通过良政善治为人民谋幸福，为国家谋发展。
