坚持马克思主义政治经济学的主导地位——当代中国主流经济学辩

Adhering to the Predominance of Marxist Political Economics:On the Mainstream Economics in Contemporary Chinat

习近平在主持中央政治局学习马克思主义政治经济学时强调,马克思主义政治经济学是马克思主义的重要组成部分,也是我们坚持和发展马克思主义的必修课。这实质是强调马克思主义政治经济学在当代中国的主流地位和主导作用。近年来有一种颇为流行的说法,所谓当代中国的主流经济学是西方经济学,其理由是西方经济学具有"普适性",试图用西方经济学代替马克思主义政治经济学起主导作用。这涉及要不要坚持马克思主义政治经济学的主导地位,要不要坚持中国特色社会主义政治经济学的指导作用等重大问题。同时,也涉及中国经济学科建设的方向和前途问题。对此,经济理论界必须认真予以回答。

While hosting a learning conference on Marxist political economics for the Political Bureau, General Secretary Xi Jin-ping emphasized 'Marxist Political Economy is a main part of Marxism and our compulsory lesson for adhering to and developing Marxism', intrinsically highlighting the predominance and guidance of Marxist political economics in contemporary China. Recent years witnessed a popular idea that the so-called mainstream economics in contemporary China refers to western economics for its 'universality' in an attempt to replace Marxist political economics with western economics in terms of predominance. This involves major issues like whether to uphold the predominant status of Marxist political economics and whether to adhere to the guidance of the political economics with Chinese characteristics. Meanwhile, it is also concerned with the direction and prospect of the disciplinary construction of Chinese economics. Consequently,economics circles have to give deliberate reply rather than regard it as unimportant.
