中国发展的文化自觉:人文经济学之引入

Cultural Consciousness of China’s Development:Introducing Humanistic Economics

以发展经济学观照“中国模式”,其所蕴含的人的全面发展理念具有三个指向,即追求最广大人民利益最大化的经济现代化、基于全民社会均衡福利的经济社会化和关联人类命运共同体的经济全球化。我们应从文化经济学视野,反思和纠正韦伯判断的欧洲中心主义偏见,结合东亚奇迹的价值观有效性,建立对于中国现代经济发展的文化基因与“中国道路”的自觉自信。在当代态和历时态分析的基础上,通过回归到中国的内生人文经济学的系统性分析发现,“以人为本”在中国发展道路上一以贯之,中国始终秉持着“人文化成”的和平发展观,具体在当下就是文化强国赋能经济高质量发展。

Since the late 1970s,when China implemented the Reform and Opening-up policy,its economy has experienced over three decades of continuous and rapid growth,drawing global attention to China’s development phenomenon and the question of whether it can constitute a“Chinese model”.China emphasizes its own path based on its history and national conditions,known as the“Chinese solution”.The development experience,model,and path of China urgently need to be located and deduced from the intrinsic realities and historical-cultural values.Drawing from the practice of contemporary China since the implementation of reform policies,the perspective of development economics allows us to clearly see three directions inherent in the comprehensive development concept:the pursuit of economic modernization for the maximization of the interests of the overwhelming majority,economic and social integration based on universal social welfare,and economic globalization associated with a community with a shared future for mankind.The economic and social achievements of contemporary China’s development,which could be seen as the results of reform policies.Meanwhile,it also leads us to comb through China’s cultural resources and spiritual energy from the perspective of development models like the“East Asian Miracle”to understand the historical-cultural heritage and development system of China.Cultural economics becomes an effective theoretical tool for exploring the depth of China’s development history.From the viewpoint of cultural economics,we need to reflect on and correct the Eurocentric bias from Max Weber.With the effectiveness of Asian values from the“East Asian Miracle”,we establish a conscious self-confidence in China’s cultural genes and“Chinese solution”for modern economic development.Based on the analysis of development economics for contemporary China’s development model and the cultural economics for the historical China’s developmental path,returning to China’s intrinsic humanistic economics rooted in its own reality and history.As an innovative theoretical framework for systematically analyzing the rules about cultural development as well as overall characteristics of China’s development,humanistic economics allows us to conclusively deduce that the fundamental development and governing principles which put people first remain consistent throughout China’s development path.Moreover,considering China’s humanistic traditions and national governance model,it has consistently upheld the“humanisation and civilisation”perspective for peaceful development.In the current context,this translates into empowering economic high-quality development through cultural advancement,attaching great importance to cultural development in national governance and affirming China’s pursuit of building China into a country with a strong socialist culture.
