完善社会主义制度,深化经济体制改革,究竟以什么为中心环节?有一种观点曾十分行时,即认为以改善宏观调控(或计划体制)为中心环节(或者说为突破口)。现在更多的人主张以搞活大中型企业为中心环节,但无论在理论上还是实际上都未能矫正前一种主张,因为计划中心导论的观点仍然统治着很多人的头脑,例如将计划与市场关系当作运行机制的全部或主体,就是其派生的观点。还有的主张以实现经济良性循环为中心环节,实际上取消了中心环节,而且也势必回归计划中心论的老思路。这个问题已不是单纯的理论之争,它关系到今后深化改革的实践,关系到实现现代化的路子,归根到底,关系到社会主义的兴衰。我明确主张,以增强经济活力为中心,其他各方面都为之配套,故称之为“活力主导经济学”现略陈管见。 To improve the socialist system and deepen the reform of the economic system, what is the central issue? When one view is quite satisfactory, we think that the improvement (or a breakthrough) of the macro-control (or planning system) is the key link. Now more people advocate the revitalization of large and medium-sized enterprises as the central link, but both in theory and in fact failed to correct the previous claim, because the introduction of the plan center still dominated the views of many people’s minds, for example, plans and Market relations as the operating mechanism of all or the main body is derived from its point of view. Others advocate taking the realization of a virtuous circle of economy as the central link, in fact, the central link has been eliminated, and it is bound to return to the old thread of planning-centered theory. This issue is no longer a purely theoretical dispute. It relates to the practice of deepening the reform in the future and to the road to modernization. In the final analysis, it concerns the rise and fall of socialism. I explicitly point out that with the emphasis on economic vitality as the center, everything else is complemented by it. Therefore, I call it “strategic economic vitality.”
