用历史唯物主义的观点看经济增长与经济发展

Economic Growth and Economic Development ──In the View of Historical Materialism

经济增长和经济发展不是等同的概念。前者是指人均产量的增长，而后者是指经济结构的变迁以及与之相关的社会进步。正确理解经济发展概念，有助于形成对资本主义和社会主义的全面认识。

Economic growth and economic development are not the same concepts. Economic growth means the growth of output. But economic devel opment means the change of economic structures and the progress of social relati onships. Correct comprehension of the concept of economic development is conduci ve to complete understanding of capitalism and socialism.
