Chapter 230: Benefiting from the Times
Originally, this conference should have taken place after 1983, but it took place now because the market economy started earlier.
As things stand, seeing the vigorous development that the free market has brought to the economy, most people prefer to transform the planned economy directly into a free economy.
Unexpectedly, as a promoter of free economy, Ruoqiao expressed his opposition.
Everyone was surprised.
"I am not against free economy, but we cannot completely eliminate planned economy. Both have their pros and cons. I think we may be able to find a way to strike a balance."
“Under the planned economy, all means of production belonged to the state, and all products were distributed uniformly by the state.
Although consumption vitality will be suppressed to a certain extent due to the loss of initiative and choice, it also has its irreplaceable advantage, that is, stability. ”
“A free economy can indeed make the economy flourish, but it also has disadvantages such as malicious competition and inflation.
So I think we don't need to choose between them, but rather we should learn from both, taking the essence and discarding the dregs. ”
Everyone looked at each other, and many people felt that what she said made sense.
However, some people believe that the times are changing and now is the time when China's economy is taking off. Developed countries such as the United States also follow the free economic model and have not seen any major problems.
"Indeed, we also need to consider our national conditions. After all, my country is still a developing country with a large population. Many models of developed countries may not be completely suitable for us."
In the 1980s of the previous life, China trusted the United States too much and took the economic development of the United States as its guide.
We continue to introduce American companies, documents and products, and gradually turn China into the world's factory.
Whether it is resources, labor or the environment, they are all being consumed recklessly.
In the short term, rapid development has indeed been achieved, but the hidden dangers buried in the meantime are also huge.
Ruoqiao wanted to push the free economy into rapid development ahead of time because he didn't want such history to repeat itself.
China will not be allowed to be coveted, destroyed or run wild by any country.
She didn't want to see China become like later generations, looking bright and beautiful on the surface but actually full of holes.
But she certainly couldn't say these things directly. After all, many things would not become serious if they were spoken out only through imagination before they happened.
Some might even say that we should make it controllable and stop when it reaches a certain dangerous limit.
Sometimes many things can be solved with just one decision.
So she simply talked about the current situation in the West.
At present, developed countries are obviously in a state of high inflation.
Especially in some European countries, the index has remained high.
This condition will not be relieved until at least five or six days later.
But China needs to pay the bill.
Ruoqiao directly listed the data one by one, allowing everyone to fully understand the potential dangers of a completely free economy.
According to her idea, we can first focus on the country and cultivate a group of leading national enterprises.
Then, through these enterprises, we can drive the market, lead the market, clean up the market, and play a thorough leading and market regulation role.
What she remembered most clearly was the serious economic collapse that China faced eight decades later.
That crisis almost brought 80% of China's economic development to a halt.
The reason is simply because price control has been relaxed and the market has been completely handed over to individuals.
This marked the beginning of China's first inflation.
Therefore, market guidance is particularly important.
After hearing her proposal, most people agreed.
