This lecture is one of the series of activities of the 11th Financial Culture Festival. Wang Zurui, Secretary of the Youth League Committee of the w88 casino of Finance, attended.

The lecture was crowded with people

Chinese history spans more than five thousand years and is so complicated that it is difficult to keep a straight line. At the beginning of the lecture, Wu Xiaobo introduced to the audience two methods of studying China: one is the game analysis method of interest groups, which is to gain insights into Chinese society from the four major forces of the central government, local governments, property owners, and have-nots; the other is the four basic system analysis methods, which is to analyze the economic policies of previous dynasties from the power distribution model of the central and local governments, the national ideological control model, the social elite control model, and the macroeconomic system model. Under the guidance of two ideas, Wu Xiaobo unfolded for us a long scroll of economic changes in the past dynasties.

Wu Xiaobo’s History

In the lecture, Wu Xiaobo reviewed the ten major reforms in Chinese history. With witty language and sharp comments, Wu Xiaobo freed the reformers from obscure history books and gave them vivid economic significance. The "entrepreneur" Guan Zhong set up a "salt and iron franchise" in order to "take it from the invisible and make people less angry", turning the country into a profit-making organization; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued the "Telling Order" to impose severe taxes on businessmen, which gave birth to the habit of Chinese businessmen to "eat well and wear good clothes". He compared history with the present era, making the audience nod frequently.

Wu Xiaobo focused on analyzing the two economic reforms of New China, namely1978Year of Reform1994year reform. Wu Xiaobo said that these two economic reforms have the characteristics of being pragmatic and asymptotic and need to be improved. A thorough economic reform is imperative, but there are currently three popular ideas, namely, the "one-step approach" and the "'Chongqing model' w88 casino" and the "status quo" faction are both inappropriate. Faced with the students' eager inquiries, Wu Xiaobo said with a smile that he could not find the best idea for the time being, but history can give us some advice. Wu Xiaobo emphasized that respecting the long-standing "unified culture" of the Chinese people is the prerequisite for all economic reforms, but this point is often ignored by economists.
