为人民谋幸福的经济学
新中国建立73年来,中国的经济发展取得了举世瞩目的成就,成为世界第二大经济体。在哲学社会科学理论创新上,中国的经济学研究也取得了长足的发展,经过73年的探索,中国逐步形成了以人民利益最大化为目标,为人民谋幸福的中国经济学。作为新时代中经济工作的根本遵循和行动指南,习近平经济思想更是强调经济发展必须坚持以人民为中心的根本立场。事实上,以习近平经济思想为核心内容的中国经济学本质上就是为人民谋幸福的经济学。
之所以这么说,是因为习近平经济思想的一个核心内容就是中国经济进入新发展阶段后,要全面系统地贯彻新发展理念,以此来引领构建新发展格局,推进中国经济的高质量发展。作为新发展理念包括五个方面,创新是第一源动力,协调是内生特征,绿色是普遍形态,开放是必然之路,共享是最终目标。可以看出,五大新发展理念的目标就是要解决人民日益增长的美好生活需要同中国经济社会中不平衡不充分发展之间的矛盾。
创新是解决不充分发展的第一源动力。在各行业生产中,推动科技创新、技术进步,同时在经济社会建设中,推动各项规则、规制、标准的创新,才能够有效地实现促进产品附加值、提升产品质量、提高企业生产率、推动行业转型升级,推动中国经济进入新发展阶段。
绿色作为普遍形态,是强调“绿水青山就是金山银山”,保护环境出发点就是为了老百姓身体健康,促进社会的可持续发展,做到人与自然协调,实现人类的代际充分发展。
协调是内生特征,目标更是直接为了解决中国经济发展中的不平衡问题。协调包括三方面内容:区域协调、城乡协调和行业协调。通过实现新型工业化和新型城镇化的协调发展,促进长三角、粤港澳大湾区、京津冀、成渝城市群和长江中游地区的协调发展,缩小城乡收入和行业收入差距。
开放是实现中国经济社会的平衡充分发展的必由之路。为人民谋幸福的人民经济学的一项重要内容就是构建中国新发展格局。而实现以国内大循环为主体,国内国际相互促进的“双循环”则是构建中国新发展格局的重要抓手。需要强调的是,“双循环”不是闭循环,也不是孤立的小循环内循环,而是通过更好地融入到全球化中,以开放促改革,以改革带发展。
共享则是实现满足人民日益增长的美好生活需要的最终目标。中国经济的改革红利、发展红利应该是人人共享的,对大同社会的美好追求是我们奋斗的最终目标。中国发展红利的共享需要经历三个阶段:首先是要打赢全面脱贫攻坚战,其次是实现乡村的全面振兴,最后通过扩大中等收入群体、提升低收入群体和合理调节高收入群体来实现全体人民的共同富裕。
以下为英文原文:
Economics of seeking people's happiness
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China 73 years ago, China has made remarkable achievements in economic development and become the second-largest economy in the world. In terms of theoretical innovation in philosophy and social sciences, China's economic research has also made great progress. After 73 years of exploration, China has gradually formed a Chinese economy that aims to maximize the interests of the people and seek happiness for them. As the primary action guide for economic work in the new era, the Xi Jinping economic ideology system emphasizes that economic development must adhere to the fundamental position of taking the people as the center. In fact, Chinese economics with the Xi Jinping economic ideology system as core content, is essentially the economics of seeking happiness for the people.
This is because one of the core contents of the Xi Jinping economic ideology system is that after the Chinese economy enters a new stage of development, it is necessary to comprehensively and systematically implement the new development concept. That's to lead the construction of a new development pattern and promote high-quality growth in China's economy. As a new development concept, it includes five aspects. Innovation is the primary driving force, coordination is an internal feature, green is a common pattern, opening-up is an inevitable path, and sharing is the ultimate goal. It can be seen that the goal of the five new development concepts is to solve the contradiction between the people's ever-expanding need for a better life and the unbalanced and inadequate growth of China's economy and society.
Innovation is the primary driving force for addressing inadequate development. Only by promoting innovation and technological progress while at the same time supporting positive changes in the rules, regulations and standards in the economic and social construction, can we effectively back the added value of products, upgrade product quality and enterprise productivity while leading China's economy into a new stage of development.
As a universal form, green is to emphasize that "clear waters and green mountains are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver." The starting point of environmental protection is to guarding the health of the people, promote the sustainable development of society, achieve coordination between man and nature, and realize the full development of mankind between generations.
Coordination is an endogenous feature, and the goal is to directly solve the imbalance problem in China's economic development. Coordination includes three aspects: regional coordination, urban and rural coordination and industry coordination. By realizing the coordinated development of new industrialization and urbanization, we will promote simultaneous growth in the Yangtze River's Delta and middle reaches, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Chengdu Chongqing urban agglomeration. We will also narrow the urban-rural income and industry income gap.
Opening-up is the only way to realize the balanced and full development of China's economy and society. An important part of the economics for people's happiness is to build a new development pattern in China. The realization of a "double cycle" with domestic circulation as the main body and domestic and international mutual promotion is an important starting point for the construction of China's new development pattern. It needs to be emphasized that the "double cycle" is not closed. It is also not an isolated inner cycle of a small cycle, but rather a better integration into globalization to promote reform through opening-up and development through reform.
Sharing is the ultimate goal of meeting the people's ever-growing need for a better life. The dividends of reform and development of the Chinese economy should be shared by all, and the pursuit of a harmonious society is the ultimate goal of our struggle. The sharing of China's development dividend needs to go through three stages: first, we need to win the battle against poverty across the board; second, we need to achieve the overall revitalization of the countryside, and finally, we need to achieve common prosperity for all people by expanding middle-income sections, upgrading low-income segments and rationally adjusting high-income groups.
