《经济纵横》编辑部: 看了贵刊第3期登载的卫兴华同志就社会主义市场经济与私营经济问题同我商榷的文章,本打算写一篇同样篇幅的文章,详细谈谈我在这些问题上的看法。但是考虑再三,决定暂时不写了。原因是,一、我听到反映,有不少读者对这种争论不感兴趣,认为学术刊物应该集中力量研究一些更大的问题;二、搞不好会影响团结。在学术争论问题上,要做到当年孙冶方同志与于光远同志那样。一面针锋相对地争论,一面又是好朋友,很不容易。所以我决定不写文章同他争辩了,只写这样一封公开信。谈谈我对正确地开展学术争呜的意 “Economic aspect” Editorial Department: Having read the articles on the question of socialist market economy and the private economy that Comrade Wei Xinghua published in your 3rd issue, I intend to write an article of the same length detailing what I am doing Opinions on these issues. However, consider again and again, decided not to write for the time being. The reason is that, firstly, I have heard that many readers are not interested in this argument. I think academic journals should concentrate on some bigger issues. Second, if they are not good, they will affect unity. On the issue of academic debate, we should do the same with Comrades Sun Yefang and Yu Guangyuan. It is not easy to argue tit-for-tat and good friends. So I decided not to write an article to argue with him, just write such an open letter. Talk about my intention to carry out academic contestation correctly
