自由市场经济体制下香港政府经济功能的定位与调适

The Positioning and Adjustment of HongKong Government Economic Function under Free Market Economic System

香港社会现存的诸多市场失灵现象,与其自由经济制度以及政府功能定位过窄有关。部分社会人士期望通过争取普选方式来改善管治,并非对症。历史上,香港经济管理理念中"积极不干预"其实包含着干预与不干预,并择机交叉使用。回归后特区政府做出一些尝试,本届政府又提出"适度有为",但尚未形成清晰的思路与配套机制。香港应破除教条,与时俱进地选择政府适宜功能。香港应在"小政府"的"核心功能"上,拓展新的"适宜功能":包括引导经济发展方向、推动经济转型、维护境外商贸利益、反垄断等,逐步发展部分"积极功能":参与全球公共治理、改善社会公平、提升政府自身的机构能力等。

The market failure phenomenon in HongKong is related to the narrow positioning of its free economic system and the government functions. Some people expect to improve HongKong governance by universal suffrage, which is not really the right way. HongKong should get rid of dogma and progress with the times to choose the appropriate government functions. On the basis of the ＂core function＂ of the ＂small government＂, HongKong should expand the new ＂appropriate functions＂ , including the guidance of the direction of economic development, promoting economic restructuring, the maintenance of foreign trade interests and anti-monopoly, etc. HongKong should also gradually develop some of the positive functions including participating in global public governance,improving social justice and the capability of government institutions,etc.
