本书对现代经济学作一次根基性的重思。它不把商品、价值、财富与发展当作不言自明的实体，而主张：它们是更深的、经由互动形成的生成结构的产物。承 SIO 本体论之脉，作者呈现一场经济学中的哥白尼式革命——从以客体为中心、以价值为中心的框架，转向以互动为中心、以意义为中心地理解经济生活。
全书内核是一个朴素而激进的主张：经济分析的真正单位，不是孤立的个人、商品或交易，而是经由结构化互动被生成的「经济实体」。从这个视角看，商品不只是物件，价值不是抽象的度量，财富不是累积，发展也不等同于增长——每一样都必须由它「如何在互动系统中涌现、稳定、演化」来重新定义。全书由六项相互关联的研究组成，从基础原理走向应用理论：引入经济实体与互动交换，把市场动力学重构为结构转化的过程，把企业创新看作一个生成性的 0→1 机制，厘清宏观治理的恰当角色是一套制度约束而非中央计划，并以「结构深度与意义生成」重新定义财富。全书在一套「三循环」发展理论中收束——把短期的价值循环、中期的意义循环与长期的文明转型整合为一个统一的解释框架。
以哲学的严谨融合来自真实金融市场的务实洞见，本书在理论与实践间架桥。它为诊断金融化、创新瓶颈、经济停滞与价值稀释等现象提供一套融贯语言，也为设计更可持续的发展形态提供概念工具。写给经济学家、金融从业者、政策制定者、研究者，以及一切想寻得一个原创框架、来解释「为何现代经济常常越来越富、意义上却越来越穷」的好奇读者。在这套框架里，价值是特征纠缠的可传态结晶，市场是意义生成场。
An Introduction to SIO Economics proposes a fundamental rethinking of modern economics. Rather than treating goods, value, wealth, and development as self-evident entities, this book argues that they are the products of deeper generative structures formed through interaction. Drawing on SIO Ontology (Subject-Interaction-Object), the authors present what they describe as a Copernican Revolution in economics: a shift from object-centered and value-centered frameworks to an interaction-centered and meaning-centered understanding of economic life. At the core of the book is a simple but radical claim: the true unit of economic analysis is not the isolated individual, commodity, or transaction, but the economic entity generated through structured interaction.
From this perspective, goods are not merely objects, value is not an abstract metric, wealth is not accumulation, and development is not synonymous with growth. Each must be redefined by how it emerges, stabilizes, and evolves within interactional systems. The book is organized as six interrelated studies, progressing from foundational principles to applied theory. It introduces economic entities and interactional exchange, reconstructs market dynamics as processes of structural transformation, examines enterprise innovation as a generative 0¿1 mechanism, clarifies the proper role of macro governance as a system of institutional constraints rather than centralized planning, and redefines wealth in terms of structural depth and meaning generation.
The work culminates in a three-cycle theory of development, integrating short-term value cycles, medium-term meaning cycles, and long-term civilizational transitions into a unified explanatory framework. Combining philosophical rigor with practical insight from real financial markets, An Introduction to SIO Economics bridges theory and practice. It offers readers a coherent language for diagnosing phenomena such as financialization, innovation bottlenecks, economic stagnation, and value dilution-while also providing conceptual tools for designing more sustainable forms of development. This book is written for economists, financial professionals, policymakers, researchers, and intellectually curious readers seeking an original framework capable of explaining why modern economies often grow richer yet feel poorer in meaning-and how economics itself might be reoriented toward creativity, freedom, and long-term human flourishing.
