An Exploratory Analysis of Tao Xingzhi's Thoughts on Economic Reform

陶行知作为一个具有改造近代中国远大抱负的教育家,他对近代中国的关注并不局限于教育领域,对近代中国社会经济改造问题也极为重视。经济的变革在陶行知整个社会改造主张中占相当的比重。创造富的社会,不造富的个人,是他为改造中国社会设定的经济目标。为实现这一目标,他提出要消除近代中国经济发展的内外阻力,并提出近代中国经济结构变革的途径就是“在农业上安根、工商业上出头”。

As a great educationist with lofty ideals for reforms in modern China, Dr.Tao Xingzhi not only showed his great concern for education, but also attached great importance to the issues in social and economic reforms. His idea about the economic reform, which was aimed at 'creating a rich society instead of rich individuals', was a very important part in his whole proposition of the social reform. In order to achieve the goal, Tao Xingzhi advocated that the obstruction from home or abroad to the economic development should be eliminated, and pointed out the way to the economic structure reform_'Take root in agriculture; speed development in industry and commerce'.
