Huang Jiangnan (born January 1, 1950) is a Chinese economist, investment banker, and investor. He is currently the founding partner and chairman of Sunterra Capital, a Chinese venture capital firm based in Shanghai.

Huang first gained prominence as an economist in the 1980s. He was one of the “Four Gentlemen of Economic Reform ”( 改革四君子) along with Wang Qishan, Weng Yongxi, and Zhu Jiamang. The Four Gentlemen of Economic reform wrote a famous paper stressing the urgent need for economic re-balancing and reform. Their paper quickly gained a following among the top Chinese leaders, ultimately reaching Premier Zhao Ziyang. Their work would be the impetus for the economic reform China undertook in the early 1980s.[1]

Huang would later hold a variety of positions both in the private and public sector. He served as a senior economist in the Development Research Center of the State Council(precursor organization). He served as the chief economist at China Everbright Securities Co. Ltd. He has served as the senior partner at Chardan Capital.[2] He has also served as the CEO and advisor to numerous Chinese acquisition/investment companies. He has also served on several boards of US listed companies.

Huang received a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Beijing Capital Pedagogical University and a master's degree in economics from The Industrial Economic Institute of China Academic Social Science in 1981 where he engaged in advanced study at The Regional Economic Research & Development Center at the United Nations.[3]

Huang is currently engaged in developing his theory of Idea Economics. Idea Economics aims explain the modern, post-Industrial economy, or an economy in the Information Age. This economy focuses on the production of ideas, the protection of intellectual property, and the extension/application of ideas into goods production. Idea Economics describes this process of ideas formulation, the spillover of ideas into the general economy, and the impact of the ideas economy on the general population. Idea Economics redefines the concept of marginal utility, marginal cost, pricing structure, price inflation, and labor structure. It further provides a new roadmap to China’s economic growth path, and explains the Chinese shift to protecting property rights.[4]
