从西方的角度来看,中国社会主义与市场经济的结合是一个悖论。然而,中国每天实践的恰恰是这种不稳定和不合乎逻辑的结合。本文试图回答的问题是:市场经济如何能够在社会主义中国行得通?它又是如何得到合法化的?为了回答这个问题,本文将拉克劳和莫菲的话语理论作为理论的出发点。通过分析中国共产党的话语,我们看到市场经济作为一种在社会主义初级阶段发展生产力的方式而得到了合法化,市场经济变成了“中国特色社会主义”不可分割的一部分。 From a western perspective, the combination of Chinese socialism and market economy is a paradox. However, it is precisely this unstable and illogical combination that China practices every day. This article tries to answer the question: How can the market economy work in socialist China? How can it be legalized? To answer this question, this article takes Laclau and Murphy’s discourse theory as the starting point of the theory. By analyzing the discourse of the Chinese Communist Party, we have seen that the market economy has been legitimated as a means of developing productive forces in the primary stage of socialism, and that the market economy has become an integral part of “socialism with Chinese characteristics.”
