经济市场化发展最突出的标志是价格市场化。价格市场化客观上要求由市场竞争和市场供求来决定各种商品和生产要素的价格，通过价格信号来协调各利益主体的经济行为和社会资源的合理配置。这种价格协调机制犹如一架精巧绝伦的机构，能极大地降低人们经济活动的信息成本和交易成 The most prominent symbol of the development of economic marketization is the marketization of prices. Price marketization objectively requires that the prices of various commodities and factors of production be determined by market competition and market supply and demand, and the economic behavior of all stakeholders and the rational allocation of social resources are coordinated through price signals. This price coordination mechanism is like an exquisite institution, which can greatly reduce the information cost and transaction of people’s economic activities.
