经济增长和经济发展是一组既有区别又有联系的范畴。经济增长是经济发展的基础,没有经济增长,就不可能有经济发展;经济发展虽是经济增长的结果,但它又可以成为经济进一步增长的条件。从这个意义上讲,经济增长与经济发展可以相互促进。但是,经济增长并不必然带来经济发展。统计资料表明,我国自1949年到十一届三中全会之前的30年时间里,经济增长率一直高于同水平起步的发展中国家,甚至高于西方发达国家,但经济发展缓慢。究其原因,关键在于没能在实践中正确认识和处理好经济增长与经济发展的关系。改革开放以来,在经济发展的重大问题上,邓小平总是善于运用唯物辩证的观点,以革命家的战 Economic growth and economic development are a set of existing and separate areas.
