A long, long time ago, some people learned a little bit of Austrian economics, and they felt superior to others, very arrogant, and walked on the street with a swaggering appearance.
In the 90s of the last century, there was a Nanjie village in Henan, which developed at the speed of Shenzhen by relying on the way of collective management and the education of Chairman Mao's ideology, which not only attracted great attention in China, but also came to interview and report on it by some foreign media.
How to look at the development of Nanjie Village, there are many differences in society, and most of them support it. There are quite a few leading comrades who have inspected Nanjie Village, and some of them have said that Nanjie Village is "a spiritual treasure house" and "a good party school." Some leading comrades inscribed poems for Nanjie: "The mountains and rivers are exhausted and there is no road, and the willows and flowers are red in Nanjie Village." Everyone does their best to be prosperous and strive for a better future. ”
Wang Hongbin, the leader of Nanjie Village, mentioned an example in a report, saying that in February 1998, an economist came to Beijing, accompanied by provincial and municipal staff, and as soon as he sat down, he asked: "Did your Nanjie Village develop on the basis of Mao Zedong Thought?" Squad leader Wang looked bad and replied: "A person's growth and the success of a career are not a factor, it is a factor. Nanjie Village has today, first of all, the reform and opening up, the care and support of leaders at all levels, and our insistence on educating people with Mao Zedong Thought. The economist asks, "What is the proportion of each of these factors?" Squad leader Wang said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"So far, we people in South Street have not had this level to quantify it, and we will report back to you when we improve it later. Besides, there is no such meter for sale in the society. If there is, we can buy one, measure it, and tell you. ”
This economist who came to Nanjie raised a lot of questions very unfriendly, but they were all wittily scolded back by squad leader Wang, and he didn't get any advantage at all, and he was exhausted in reasoning, and finally said angrily: "No matter what you say, anyway, we economists are 100 percent against your Nanjie Village's approach!" Squad leader Wang replied and said:
"Don't say 100 percent opposition, that is, thousands of opposition, we Nanjie people are willing to take this road, we will unswervingly go on, and you can't control it. ”
Wang Hongbin's squad leader did not mention the name of the economist from Beijing in the report, and the economist did not show off everywhere, after all, he was unreasonable first, and he was very embarrassed to be robbed of white, and no matter how thick-skinned he was, he was embarrassed to publicize it.
Who will be the economist who will go to Nanjie Village to "look for trouble"? Those who are accompanied by personnel from provincial and municipal departments will certainly not be ordinary people, but will have a lot of background, and at that time, they must have been very mainstream. After some verification, there is not a lot of information, but it all points to a person, like the one in Argentina who is engaged in "shock therapy", who is extremely obsessed with the Austrian school of economics, the famous economist Zhang Da.
Whether it is or not, it is not certain, but Zhang Da's economist has a negative attitude towards Nanjie is certain, he once said in the article: "Of course you can find a person who has not painted with both hands and toes, but how can you say that all those who want to become painters should chop off their hands?"
Economist Zhang Da has two major views: 1) The market economy is the most egalitarian system in human history, and 2) If it loses faith in the market and introduces more and more government intervention in the economy, China will only move towards common poverty. Regardless of whether your views are right or not, whether they can stand the test of history or not, and whether they conform to China's reality or not, if you go to Nanjie Village to raise teachers and ask for guilt and interfere with other people's development methods, you lack basic etiquette and are choked by others, and you deserve it.
More than 20 years have passed, and in the flick of a finger, Nanjie Village, which is 100 percent opposed by economists of the Austrian school, has been developing very well, which fully shows that being opposed by economists is not necessarily a bad thing, and being supported by economists is not necessarily a good thing.
