Song Guiwu’s Viewpoint 64: How to Understand the Market’s Decisive Role in Resource Allocation


 宋圭武观点64:如何理解市场在资源配置中起决定性作用

个人认为,如何理解市场在资源配置中起决定性作用,不能理解成是一切都市场化,或尽可能把所有行业都市场化,这是误区,是对中央精神的错误解读或片面理解,对中央精神,我们一定要完整准确全面理解。

市场是有有效边界的。市场在有些领域有效,在有些领域是无效的,这是经济学常识。比如,国防领域,就不能市场化。农业领域,也是市场部分有效。

如何理解市场在资源配置中起决定性作用,关键是要把属于市场能办好的,真正交给市场,也就是在市场有效的范围内,让市场在资源配置中起决定性作用。而市场办不好的,或在市场失效范围内,则需要政府更好发挥作用。这需要解决好错位、缺位等问题,需要更好界定政府职能问题。

另外,市场经济也不是空中楼阁,推进市场化改革,一定要立足于国情。不同国情,市场的有效边界会有所不同。尤其是软国情,比如文化、原有制度体系等,是制约市场有效边界的重要因素。这里尤其要考虑制度与文化的相容性。否则,会导致制度建设只有形式而没有实质,让制度成为摆设,成为花瓶。

中国的市场经济,必须是中国特色的。因为中国的市场经济大楼,是建立在中国大地上的,这就要求必须要根据中国的土质特点和地形地貌来设计楼房的结构,形成和谐整体美。

好,谢谢,谢谢。

Song Guiwu's Viewpoint 64: How to Understand the Market's Decisive Role in Resource Allocation

 

Personally, how to understand the market's decisive role in resource allocation cannot be understood as marketization of everything, or as much as possible all industries are marketized, which is a misunderstanding, a wrong interpretation or one-sided understanding of the central spirit. We must have a complete, accurate and comprehensive understanding of the central spirit. The market has an effective boundary.The market is effective in some fields and ineffective in some fields, which is common knowledge in economics.For example, national defense cannot be marketized.In agriculture, the market is also partially effective.How to understand the market's decisive role in resource allocation? The key is to really hand over to the market what the market can do well, that is, within the scope of market effectiveness, let the market play a decisive role in resource allocation.Where the market cannot do well, or within the scope of market invalidation, the government needs to play a better role.This requires a good solution to problems such as dislocation and absence, and a better definition of government functions.In addition, the market economy is not a castle in the air. To promote market-oriented reform, we must be based on national conditions.The effective boundary of the market will be different in different national conditions.Especially the soft national conditions, such as culture and the original system, are important factors restricting the effective boundary of the market. In particular, we should consider the compatibility of the system and culture.Otherwise, it will lead to the system construction only in form without substance, and make the system become a decoration, a decoration.China's market economy must have Chinese characteristics.Because China's market economy building is built on the Chinese land, it is required to design the structure of the building according to the characteristics of the soil and the topography of China, and form a harmonious overall beauty.OK, thank you, thank you.
