“科学技术是生产力”,这是马克思主义的一个重要而基本的观点。“科学技术是第一生产力”,这是邓小平同志总结了二次大战以来,特别是70—80年代世界经济发展的新趋势和新经验所作的新的概括。它丰富和发展了马克思主义关于科学技术和关于生产力的学说,对于研究和分析当代国际问题,以及指导我国四化建设和进一步深化改革,扩大开放有着重要的意义。 “Science and technology are productive forces.” This is an important and basic view of Marxism. “Science and technology are the primary productive forces”. This is a new summary made by Comrade Deng Xiaoping summarizing the new trends and new experiences in world economic development since the Second World War, especially in the 1970s-1980s. It enriches and develops Marxist doctrine on science and technology and productivity, which is of great significance for studying and analyzing contemporary international issues, guiding the building of the four modernizations of our country, further deepening the reform and opening wider to the outside world.
