市场是一只看不见的手。政府是一只看得见的手。市场能够提供机会的平等,却不能达到结果的平等。于是,有人提出:没有货币,没有商品,没有市场,一切资源都由政府这只看得见的手按计划来配置,建立一个公平而富裕的社会。苏联搞了六七十年的计划经济,寿终正寝了。中国学老大哥,搞了二三十年的计划经济,几亿老百姓也尝够了短缺的苦头。 The market is an invisible hand. The government is a visible hand. Markets can provide equal opportunities without meeting the equality of outcomes. Thus, some people argue that there is no currency, no goods, no market and all resources are allocated by the visible hand of the government as planned to establish a fair and affluent society. The Soviet Union engaged in a planned economy of sixties to seventy years and came to an end. China learned a big brother, engaged in twenty or thirty years of planned economy, hundreds of millions of people have also tasted enough of the shortage of suffering.
