钱学森教授指出:“科学技术是第一生产力。这里科学技术包括社会科学,而且在我国目前,社会科学比自然科学更有关键性。”我非常赞同和拥护钱老这一观点,并且还要大声疾呼:社会科学是生产力,是第一生产力,还是我国目前经济建设中关键的第一生产力。首先,社会科学是诸实体性的潜在生产力合理组合,进而转化为现实生产力的介质。在社会化大生产条件下,企业生产活动离不开组织管理。生产管理过程就是使诸实体性生产力进行合理组合和调控的过程,离开这个合理组合和调控,就形不成现实的生产力。这就是说,在这一合理组合和调控之前,企业所拥有的劳动生产力、资本生产力都还是“潜在生产力”,只有使劳动力、劳动资料和劳动对象互相结合之后,才能成为现实的生产力;自然科学技术在运用于物质财富生产活动之前,也还是一种潜在的生产力,是一种潜在的第一生产力,只有将其运用于物质财富生产活动,依附和渗透于实体性要素生产力身上,并实现诸实 Professor Qian Xuesen pointed out: “Science and technology are the primary productive forces, where science and technology include social sciences, and in our country social sciences are more crucial than natural sciences.” I very much agree with and support Qian Lao's viewpoint, : Social sciences are productivity, primary productive force, or the key primary productive force in the current economic construction in our country. First of all, the social sciences are the rational combination of the substantive potential productive forces, which in turn translate into real-life media. Under the conditions of socialized large-scale production, the production activities of enterprises can not be separated from the organization and management. The process of production management is the process of rational combination and regulation of all the substantive productive forces. Without this reasonable combination and regulation, it will not be an actual productivity. That is to say, before this reasonable combination and regulation, the productive forces owned by enterprises and the capital productivity are still “potential productive forces”, and only after the combination of labor force, labor data and labor objects can become the actual productive forces; the natural sciences Before technology is applied to the production of material wealth, it is also a potential productive force, a potential first productive force, applied only to the production of material wealth, attached to and permeated by the physical productive forces, real
