经济学家挨骂早已不是什么稀罕事。改革开放三十年,中国经济取得了举世瞩目的成就,也遇到了前所未有的困惑:物价上升、外汇储备过高、房价暴涨、股市出现泡沫……作为伴随中国市场经济一路成长的经济学家们,或出于主观责任,或出于客观必须,纷纷献计建言,为中国经济发展大开“药方”。在过去三十年的改革岁月里,经济学家们研究的价格改革、宏观调控、所有制改革、政府和市场关系等课题,不断为整个宏观经济改革提供理论滋养和突破动力。但正如经济学家赵晓所言,过去这些年,经济学的主流的确更多地注重了效率而忽视了公平;更多关注了改革方向却忽视了过程的公平;更多地关注了民营资本的利益却忽视了更广大民众的利益;更多地重视了市场化却忽视了民主化。当越来越多的民众发现自己并未更多分享经济改革的好处时,拿经济学家们开骂出气,似乎成为民众不满情绪的宣泄渠道。其实,被骂的不仅是经济学家,言论所指还包括决策者以及先富起来的人。社会公众以此来表达他们对现状以及公共政策的不满。带有情绪的舆论也许让人烦躁,但骂声背后,是社会公众对于社会现状和自身权益的关注。对此,我们认为,不怕人议论,就怕人不议论——哀莫大于心死,只要有声音,就有改进的可能。 Scolding economists is no longer rare. Thirty years of reform and opening up have made remarkable achievements in the Chinese economy and encountered unprecedented confusion: rising prices, excessive foreign exchange reserves, soaring housing prices and a bubble in the stock market ... As economists growing along with China’s market economy , Or out of subjective responsibility, or out of objective necessity, have dedication to suggestions for the development of China’s economy open “prescription.” In the reform years of the past three decades, economists studied such topics as price reform, macro-control, ownership reform, government and market relations, and constantly provided theoretical nourishment and breakthrough momentum for the entire macroeconomic reform. However, as economist Zhao Xiao said, in the past years, the mainstream of economics did pay more attention to efficiency and ignored fairness. Instead, they paid more attention to the direction of reform but ignored the fairness of the process. They paid more attention to private capital While neglecting the interests of the wider public; paying more attention to marketization and neglecting democratization. As more and more people find themselves failing to share more about the benefits of economic reform, it seems as if economists cheated and ventured as a source of public discontent. In fact, not only economists are scolded, but also policy makers as well as those who get rich first. The public in order to express their dissatisfaction with the status quo and public policy. Public opinions with emotions may make people irritable, but behind scolding is the public’s concern for the status quo and the rights and interests of society. In this regard, we believe that people are not afraid of people talking about the argument, people are not talking about sorrow - more than death, as long as there is sound, there is the possibility of improvement.
