对中国传统节俭消费观的重新认识

Re-evaluation of Traditional Chinese Concept of Thrifty Consumption

从上个世纪90年代后期开始,我国市场供求关系发生了历史性的深刻变化,有效需求不足首次成为制约我国经济增长发展的瓶颈。从文化的角度审视,中国传统节俭消费观与"有效需求不足"之间存在着深层次的相干性关系。因此,重新评价传统节俭消费观的社会效应,对于扩大内需,实现消费方式的根本转变,促进我国国民经济可持续发展,具有重大的现实意义。

Dramatic changes have taken place in the relationship between the demand and supply of market since the late 1990s,and for the first time,the shortage of market supply has become the bottleneck for the economic development of our country. We can see from the angle of traditional Chinese culture that the concept of thrifty consumption has substantial relations with the significant shortage of demand.Therefore, it is of great significance to revaluate the social impact of traditional concept of thrifty consumption for the expansion of domestic demand, realization of the fundamental changes of consumption pattern, and promotion of the sustainable development of our national economy.
