“企业自负盈亏”是一个传统的提法,这个提法至今已沿用40多年了。40年来,虽然从未实现过“企业自负盈亏”(特别是“企业负亏”,下同),但谁也没有怀疑过“企业自负盈亏”提法的正确性。党的十四大确立了社会主义市场经济体制,本文拟按照社会主义市场经济的原则和要求,对“企业自负盈亏”的提法进行一些探讨。 “Enterprise’s own responsibility for profits and losses” is a traditional formulation. This formulation has been used for more than 40 years. In the past 40 years, although the “corporate self-financing” has never been achieved (especially “corporate losses”, the same below), nobody has ever doubted the correctness of the “corporate self-financing” formulation. The 14th National Party Congress established a socialist market economic system. This article intends to conduct some discussions on the formulation of “self-financing and profit-making” in accordance with the principles and requirements of the socialist market economy.
