邓小平同志指出,计划多一点,还是市场多一点,不是社会主义与资本主义的本质区别。计划经济不等于社会主义,资本主义也有计划;市场经济不等于资本主义,社会主义也有市场。计划和市场都是经济手段。这一论断,解开了我国多年来在计划与市场问题上争论的疙瘩,为建立有中国特色的社会主义经济体制指明了方向。 Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out: With a little more planning or a little more market, it is not the essential difference between socialism and capitalism. The planned economy is not equal to socialism, capitalism is also planned; the market economy is not equal to capitalism, socialism also has the market. Plans and markets are all economic instruments. This thesis has solved the knotty problem that our country has been debating over the issue of planning and market over the years and pointed out the direction for establishing a socialist economic system with Chinese characteristics.
