中國經濟改革發(fā)展之路

前言

The 16 essays featured in Economic Reform and Development the Chinese Way were chosen from amongst those I wrote and published during the period 1980-1998. They are reflections of my thoughts on certain important issues pertinent to the economic development of China in the intervening years.For instance, the opening piece, "The role of education in economic growth," was published in 1980, when the nation was setting about the task of confronting and resolving long-neglected issues shortly after the adoption of the policy of reform and opening up to the world. I was keenly aware of the fact that as a result of the decade-long "cultural revolution" that started in 1966, education had been seriously damaged and its development gravely held back because it was despised by leaders and the masses alike. Consequently, it was imperative to attach the utmost importance to developing education and cultivating talents, and it was against that background that the paper was written. In it I pointed out that if education continued to be scorned in such a manner, China would lose both its present and its future."Basic thoughts on economic restructuring" was written in 1986, a little more than seven years after the initiation of economic restructuring in this nation in 1979. By that time, a household contract system had been adopted in rural areas nationwide, which brought about a dramatic increase in farm produce output and an initial improvement in rural living standards. However, in urban areas, the development of state enterprises was hampered, as their management was encumbered by government intervention and their property rights were ill-defined.

章節(jié)摘錄

Economic disequilibrium in the second category is characterized by an incomplete market and inflexible prices, and more importantly, by a market filled with microeconomic agents that, instead of being independent commodity producers making their own business decisions and bearing their own gains and losses, neither have the freedom to choose investment opportunities and management modes nor bear the responsibility for investment and management risks. Such microeconomic agents have not shaken off their status as government subsidiaries or are bound hand and foot by their pre-capitalist ties.If my division of economic disequilibrium stands, there is reason to believe that the disequilibrium in a capitalist economy belongs in the firstcategory and that the disequilibrium in a pre-capitalist economy belongs in the second category. What happens in a socialist economy should be treated differently. Disequilibrium under a traditional and dual-track economic system falls into the second category because its enterprises have yet to shake off their status as government subsidiaries. Under the new economic system born of economic reform, enterprises become independent commodity producers that make their own investment and business decisions, and are liable for their gains, losses as well as investment and business risks. Thusthe disequilibrium in the new economic system falls into the first category.In the first category of disequilibrium, microeconomic agents are fullof vitality. However, these microeconomic agents are in an economic disequilibrium. They make transactions in incomplete markets where pricesare inflexible and information is incomplete and congested. Therefore, suchvitality is limited by this environment. For instance, price rigidity makes it hard for these agents to adjust production in response to price signals, and wage rigidity also prevents them from optimizing their resource allocations. However, a microeconomic agent that has full vitality but is circumscribed by its environment is very different from a microeconomic agent that lacks Mfull vitality. This is exactly the difference between the first and second categories of disequilibrium.

編輯推薦

《中國經濟改革發(fā)展之路》是厲以寧教授第一部英文作品，全面描述中國經濟改革發(fā)展之路的經典之作，外研社和劍橋大學出版社相繼推出，中國經濟學界走向世界的標志性著作。Economic restructuring may break down if price reform fails. Thesuccess of economic restructuring, however, hinges not on pricereform, but on ownership reform, which entails revamping the corpo-rate system. This is because price reform serves the main purpose ofshaping an environment in favor of the growth of the market economy,but only ownership reform or corporate system reform can addresssuch issues as interests, responsibility, motivation, and incentives.Li Yining
