20世纪40年代的中国经济发展思想——以留学生博士论文为中心的考察

China’s Economic Development Thought in the 1940s:An Investigation Centered on the Doctoral Theses of Overseas Students

20世纪40年代中期,随着抗战的胜利,如何重建中国经济、如何实现工业化,引起国内学术界的注意,也成为海外经济学留学生博士论文关注的热点。当时求学西方,主要是求学美国的经济学留学生,基于对中国抗战后经济发展的关注,借鉴西方前沿经济理论,对不发达国家的经济发展的理论与现实问题作了深入研究。这些成果不仅在中国经济思想史上具有划时代的意义,而且在世界经济思想发展史上,特别是发展经济学的发展史上具有开创性的意义,它们是近代以来中国学者在世界经济学领域取得的最为突出的学术成就。

In the mid-1940s,with the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan,how to rebuild China’s economy and how to realize industrialization attracted the attention of domestic academia,and also became the focus of doctoral dissertations of overseas economics students.At that time,overseas students studying economics in the west,mainly in the United States,made an in-depth study on the theoretical and practical problems of economic development in underdeveloped countries based on their attention to China’s economic development after the War of Resistance Against Japan and the lessons from Western frontier economic theories.These achievements have epoch-making significance not only in the history of Chinese economic thought,but also in the history of world economic thought,especially in the history of development economics.They are the most prominent academic achievements made by Chinese scholars in the field of world economics since modern times.
