江泽民同志在党的十四大报告中指出,我国经济体制改革的目标是建立社会主义市场经济体制。这一精辟论断的提出,标志着我们对计划与市场关系问题的认识有了新的重大突破。中国原有经济体制的主要特征是排斥市场对资源配置的调节作用,结果是资源配置缺乏效率,整个经济的运行缺乏灵活性。从1978年开始的经济改革,基本上是靠社会主义商品经济理论的发展开道的。对计划和市场关系的认识每深化一步,改革的进程便加快一步。把社会主义经济定义为有计划商品经济,一举破除了长期存在的计划经济同商品经济、计划调节和市场调节的对立论,从而使计划经济和市场调节结合的经济运行机制得到了确认。在这一理论的指导下,经 Comrade Jiang Zemin pointed out in the report to the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party that the goal of China’s economic structural reform is to establish a socialist market economic system. The presentation of this incisive conclusion marks a new major breakthrough in our understanding of the issue of the relationship between planning and the market. The main feature of China’s existing economic system is to exclude the regulatory role of the market in resource allocation. As a result, the allocation of resources lacks efficiency and the entire economy lacks flexibility. The economic reforms that began in 1978 basically depend on the development of the socialist commodity economy.

The definition of a socialist economy as a planned commodity economy has in one fell swoop eliminated the longstanding relationship between planned economy and commodity economy, plan adjustment and market regulation, so that the economic operation mechanism that combines planned economy and market regulation has been confirmed. Under the guidance of this theory,
