This book focuses on the innovative development of microfinance in China and takes Luqiao District, Taizhou as the example to sum up Chinese experiences in the local innovative development of microfinance and the application of that experience nationwide. Based on theoretical research regarding microfinance, this book analyzes the history and current situation of the development of microfinance in Luqiao District, and places emphasis on proceeding from three-pronged positioning, five characteristics and three major modes of microfinance's innovative development in Luqiao District to explore and summarize the Luqiao story of microfinance. Subsequently, this book takes five perspectives—the innovative development of small and medium-sized banks, the innovative development of non-banking financial institutions, the roles of private capital, the policies of the local government and cooperation between the Chinese Mainland and Taiwan—to analyze the experience and paths for helping the development of small and micro enterprises. Finally, based on the conclusions of the research, this book presents some inspirations from the innovative development of microfinance in Luqiao District and future prospects. This book will interest economists, scholars of China's economic model, and banking sector analysts.

Bis heute steht die Linke in Österreich im Schatten der Sozialdemokratie. Robert Foltin zeichnet nichtsdestotrotz ein vielfältiges Bild dieser Linken: von den radikalen Arbeiter:innen- und Soldatenräten am Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs über den kommunistischen WIderstand gegen zwei faschistische Diktaturen bis hin zur "Neuen Linken" nach 1968. Eine wichtige Rolle spielen dabei die sozialen Bewegungen, die es zumindest partiell schafften, den sozialpartnerschaftlich pazifizierten Austrokapitalismus herauszufordern: der Kampf gegen die Kraftwerke Zwentendorf und Hainburg, die autonome Frauenbewegung, migrantische Selbstorganisationen, Studierenden- und Klimabewegungen. Der Erfolg der Grazer KPÖ wird ebenfalls anchgezeichnet, und auch zwei Gastbeiträge zeigen, dass nicht nur in Wien linke Geschichte geschrieben wird.
