五环论——科技主导经济发展规律引发的变革

On the Five-link Theory——Reform Induced by the Developmental Law of Economy Driven by Science and Technology

社会生产力是随着科学技术的进步而不断发展的。进入知识经济时代,科技已成为生产力的决定因素——"第一生产力",并构成一个独立的先导系统。人类的社会再生产循环运动由生产、分配、交换、消费四个环节变为科技、生产、分配、交换、消费五个环节,经济学也由"四环论"向"五环论"飞跃。因此,有必要研究支持"五环论"的经济规律新体系,包括科技主导经济社会发展的基本经济规律和五个相关规律,研究由此带来的宏观经济大循环和微观经济小循环的跃迁,研究建设创新型国家战略、转变经济发展方式等重大问题。

Social productivity is continuously progressing as science and technology make constant advances. With the advent of the age of knowledge economy, science and technology have become a decisive force ＂the first productivity＂, and constitute a self-contained leading system. The reproduction cycle of human society, which has so far consisted of four links： production, distribution, exchange and consumption, is now incorporating five links with science and technology added as the first link; economics thus switches from ＂four links＂ to ＂five links＂ . Given this change, it is necessary to study and support the economic law and system in the light of ＂five link＂ theory, including the basic economic law and the other five related laws that underpin the social economic development and the ensuing changes in macro economic cycle and micro economic cycle so as to focus on such key issues as the strategies to build China innovatively and to change the mode of economic growth.
