1988年,我到北大和清华去做学术报告时说,如果“五四运动”时的学生和知识分子,除了提出“德先生”(Democracy)和“赛先生”(Science)之外,还提出两个“伊先生”(Economy,Education),那么中国的历史很有可能要改写。一个国家如果单有民主,那只可治国,不可富国;而科技虽可以强国,亦不可富国。一定要靠经济才能富国。但归根结底,经济、民主、科学,都得靠教育来实现。这就是为什么今天我要在这里讲知识经济。
In 1988, when I went to Peking University and Tsinghua University for an academic report, I said that if students and intellectuals during the May 4th Movement proposed not only “Democracy” and “Science” ), But also put forward two “Economy, Education”, then the history of China is likely to be rewritten. If a country has democracy alone, it can only rule the country and it is not rich. Science and technology, though powerful, can not be rich. We must rely on the economy to make the rich. But in the final analysis, economics, democracy and science all need education. That is why I am going to talk about the knowledge economy here today.
