Attached is the Powerpoint of Professor Justin Yifu Lin's speech held in Bangkok to a generally receptive audience. The title is "China and East Asia's Rise and its Implication to Modern Economics." The professor has generously shared it with me and our group.

Here is a little background before the eager economists among us delve into the notes. Professor Lin worked as the SVP and Chief Economist at the World Bank. By the end of his term, he realized the pompously named institute was not helping the less developed and more needy countries as it should. His experience helped him develop new ideas he had dubbed "New Structural Economics." Professor Lin is now the dean of the Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University and espouses the ideas behind his theory of how to help developing economies, especially those in the Global South, grow and catch up with the advanced countries. Bear in mind Professor Lin is a traditional economist who had received his doctorate at the University of Chicago, having walked a path paved by early thinkers from that school such as Milton Friedman, a libertarian and neo-liberal idol. As the Vice Director of the Economic Committee of the CPPCC (Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference), Professor Lin also consults the Chinese Central Government on economic matters. His stance is, therefore, pragmatic and deals with real life issues, as well as speaking the language everyone else understands. Be that as it may, I find the professor open-minded and did not laugh me out of the room when I asked him to critique my thesis for building a perpetually peaceful paradise. By the way, Professor Lin is also the dean of the Institute of South-South Cooperation and Development at Peking University. He is an important academic figure in the theory behind the economic development of Global South.
As for my theory, I will eventually put together a more detailed paper explaining the concepts behind it. Stay tuned.
