“科学技术就是生产力”,发展生产力的目的是为了提高经济效益,使人民富裕,国家强盛,这个道道理是人所共知的。但近期以来,一部分知识分子或者是专业技术人员的热情不高,积极性不足,这在当前的四化建设中显然是不利的,笔者想就这一问题作一点探索。一、科技人员在经济建设中的作用科学技术在经济建设和社会进步中占的地位越来越重要,而科技人员是科学技术的裁体,没有科技人员的辛劳工作,传播、运用科学技术是不可能的。许多先进发达国家经济发展的事实表明:本世纪初,国民经济总产值中依靠科技进步取得的占5％左右;五十年代占20％左右,六十年代占40％左右;七十年代占60％左右;八十年代占80％左右。我国目前大部分地区国民经济总产值中依靠科技进步的成份越来越大,已占到了百分之三十左右,一些发达的沿海地区已达到百分之五十左右。就临汾地区来说,由于近几 “Science and technology are productive forces.” The objective of developing productive forces is to enhance economic efficiency, make the people prosperous and the country prosperous. This principle is well known. Recently, however, part of the intellectuals or professional and technical personnel have a low level of enthusiasm and lack of enthusiasm. This is obviously unfavorable in the current four modernization. I would like to make some exploration on this issue. I. The role of science and technology personnel in economic construction Science and technology occupy an increasingly important place in economic construction and social progress. Scientific and technological personnel are the body of scientific and technological disarmament. Without the hard work of scientists and technicians, impossible. The fact of economic development in many advanced and developed countries shows that at the beginning of this century, about 5% of the total output value of the economy relied on scientific and technological progress, about 50% in the 1950s, 40% in the 1960s and 60% in the 1970s %; Eighties accounted for about 80%. At present, in our country, the total output of the national economy depends on scientific and technological progress in more and more large parts, accounting for about 30% of the total. Some developed coastal areas have reached around 50%. In Linfen area, due to recent years
