邓小平小康社会思想为科学发展观的提出提供了理论上的生长点。科学发展观既发端于小康社会的实践,又是小康社会建设的科学指南。小康社会发展观和科学发展观都是实现社会主义本质的内在要求。 Deng Xiaoping’s thought of a well-to-do society provides a theoretical growth point for putting forward the scientific concept of development. The concept of scientific development is not only originated from the practice of a well-to-do society but also a scientific guide to building a well-to-do society. The concept of a well-to-do society and the scientific concept of development are all intrinsic requirements for realizing the essence of socialism.
