在向市场经济转型的过程中,政府应如何给自己定位?又有什么办法来保证它不犯规不越位?经济学家吴敬琏发表了自己的看法。他说,在市场经济条件下,政府的职能主要是培育制度环境,维护市场秩序,保证经济的正常运转,弥补市场失灵等等。总之,提供公共产品是政府的基本职能。所以,要想使政府发挥这样的作用,归根结底还是要靠全面的改革。 In the process of transition to a market economy, how should the government position itself and what measures should be taken to ensure that it does not violate the law? The economist Wu Jinglian expressed his opinion. He said that under the conditions of a market economy, the government’s main function is to foster the institutional environment, safeguard market order, ensure the normal operation of the economy, make up for market failures, and so on. In short, the provision of public goods is the basic function of the government. Therefore, if we want the government to play such a role, we should rely on comprehensive reforms in the final analysis.
