本书融合了著者多年的宏微观经济管理经验尤其是丰富的金融领域工作经验，深刻全面阐释了中国改革开放30年来取得巨大成功的原因。该书从中国独特的发展道路中提炼出“制度适宜”作为切入点并贯穿始终，认为中国经济成就的关键在于选择了符合自身国情、发展水平、历史文化和国际环境的制度，即适宜的制度。并且，根据条件和环境的改变，通过改革不断创新，持续推进制度调整，在变与不变中保持制度的适宜性。该书认为，由于各国国情不同，适宜的制度也是动态和多样的，不存在唯一的普适性制度。最后该书指出，发展的道路上没有永恒的制度，只有不变的发展主题。中国改革开放30年的实践所昭示的最有价值和意义的核心理念就是制度适宜，这一理念对发展中国家应有借鉴意义。
