Basic two-way issues between academics and life

"Curse To The Late Comer", or "Curse To The Late Comer", is placed in China's century-old economic history, which makes people's eyes bright. The fact may be as Xiaokai said because backward countries have a lot of room for imitation, they can, without a good system, imitate the technology and management models of developed countries, and obtain what developed countries can only obtain under a certain system. Achievement. But this kind of imitation without system improvement will leave many hidden dangers to long-term development, and may even lead to failure. Lin Yifu’s explanation is obviously intentional to turn his back on Yang Xiaokai. He does not believe that a late-developing country can only achieve sustainable economic growth only by completing the constitutional reforms in the United Kingdom and the United States. It is likely to be an advantage.

Thanks to the debate between the two economists, many people began to understand Yang Xiaokai. People were surprised to find that this thin Chinese scholar turned out to be a leader in the world of economics. In 1998, Yang Xiaokai published his "Principles of Economics", which is the most important third-generation economics textbook since Marshall and Samuelson. The anonymous reviewer of the book commented: "This research is exciting. It’s breathtaking. Yang is one of the few people in the world who can think about this kind of problem, and he is one of the few people in the world who can solve this kind of problem. This work is original and novel. He is rapidly establishing his international reputation as one of the main theoretical economists.” This is the fact. In the history of human economics, Yang Xiaokai developed Adam Smith’s theory of division of labor and established a challenge to neoclassical economics. The new school of "New Classical Economics" created an infra-marginal economic analysis method, which can provide theoretical explanations for a series of issues such as the evolution of the economic organization, institutional changes, and economic development. Therefore, Buchanan, Nobel laureate in economics and representative of public choice theory, said unequivocally that Yang Xiaokai may be one of the best economists at present, and nominated Xiaokai as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Economics for two consecutive years. people.

Zhou Qiren's evaluation of Xiaokai may be closer to the essence. "I have known Yang Xiaokai for more than 20 years. What impressed me most is that he still has reservations and doubts about China's growth that the world agrees with. Such reservations and doubts are not emotional. The suspicion is not because of his bad situation, but because of his thinking about the problems facing society and the long-term economic development, and also from his understanding of the core part of academics."

I would like to take Zhou Qiren's insights as a key to understanding Xiaokai so that we can truly walk into his life of independent thinking. In a sense, it is precisely this kind of persistence and suspicion that constitutes Yang Xiaokai's main spirit. Jesus once said: "I tell you the truth: no prophet is accepted in his hometown". Yang Xiaokai's life experience once again witnessed the truth of Jesus.

Our life should be clear and simple, like a newborn child. Life is not complicated or colorful. All expressions of miscellaneousness, all imaginations of chaos, are the explanation of human ignorance. Tomorrow morning, the sun will rise as usual. Believe this, it will appear tomorrow. If I don't believe it, then at this moment, I am already in the abyss of death. Therefore, we must be full of confidence in the initial and ultimate meaning of human life. Any indecision caused by judgment based on the current situation is a waste of human value and life.
