本文针对"迷思论"和"杞人忧天论",揭示了我国长期存在的高投资率、低消费率的客观事实;阐述了衡量投资率是否过高、消费率是否过低的理论标准;据此历数了高投资率、低消费率造成的种种严重后果;指出了上述观点并不是源自马克思主义,而是源自古典的和现代的西方经济学;分析了上述观点反映了当前我国某些特殊社会群体的利益诉求。

Against the ＂myth argument＂ and ＂unwarranted anxiety argument,＂ this paper reveals the objec- tive fact of long-term overinvestment and underconsumption in our country; expounds the theoretical standards to measure the value of investment rate and consumption rate; indicates the various severe consequences brought by overinvestment and underconsumption; points out that the origins of the arguments are not Marxism but classical and contemporary western economics; and analyzes such arguments as reflection of interest claims by special social groups in current China.
