In the early stage of reform and opening up, the mainland's productive forces lagged behind, and the reform of the economic system enabled some people to get rich first. Since the reform and opening up, the productive forces have gained pictures, and some people have become rich first and accumulated a certain amount of capital.
Under the advocacy of the state, many groups that got rich first have not forgotten their original aspirations, and have contributed to social equity and progress through charitable deeds such as setting up foundations, building roads and bridges, and donating schools, which is commendable. However, it is undeniable that the profit-seeking nature of capital is its inherent attribute, and some wealthy people not only do not respond to the call to bring the latter rich, but seek benefits by creating demand in some fields, and this phenomenon needs to arouse our vigilance.
The phenomenon of property speculation has changed the lives of a large number of people
Take the house, for example, it greatly affects the quality of life of the masses. Houses were originally a necessity for living, but in the early days prices were still in a reasonable range, and ordinary people were able to own their own homes in a few years through hard work and frugality. But now, even in a fourth-tier city, with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, it takes about ten years to afford a house without eating or drinking. What's worse is that in order to pursue more profits, capital has created the concept of school district housing, taking advantage of parents' emphasis on children's education to force the masses to take on mortgages. Some people have worked hard all their lives just for a house, and they may even encounter incidents similar to the "Evergrande" building, and the money and house are empty, which is sad.
The dog-licking economy has skewed the social view of marriage
The "dog-licking economy" has also had a negative impact on social dynamism. In the period when the ratio of men and women was once unbalanced, capital did not start from the overall social situation and advocate a healthy concept of marriage and love, but instead created panic and preached the deformed concept of "if you love her, you must be willing to spend money for her". This kind of "licking dog economy" not only reduces the quality of life and marriage of the majority of men, but also leads to an increase in the number of leftover women, which makes many young people's view of marriage deviate and choose "not to fall in love and not to get married", resulting in a significant decline in the birth rate of newborns. What's more, after destroying the concept of normal marriage, capital has successively launched the "leftover woman economy" and "single economy", and also used the anxiety of leftover women to produce short videos such as "The domineering president falls in love with a middle-aged cleaning aunt", and they are both mentally and economically harvested, and their selfish and profit-seeking nature is shocking.
Capital makes it easy for many stock investors to enter the market and difficult to break the game
The operation of capital in the stock market also complicates stock investment. The original intention of the stock market was to provide financing channels for high-quality enterprises and promote their development. Regrettably, scandals involving illegal fundraising and stock manipulation have occurred from time to time. Although the state has taken many measures to set up institutions such as the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission to strictly supervise, it is still difficult to completely eliminate the improper manipulation of the "invisible hand of the market", which makes it difficult to accurately predict stock price fluctuations.
Regulating, controlling, and restraining capital is an inevitable choice to protect the interests of the masses
It is indeed difficult for capital to take into account social fairness and justice and highlight the attributes of public welfare, because there is a certain conflict between the attributes of public welfare and the natural profit-seeking attributes of capital. Only by adhering to the principle that "controlling people means controlling capital" and cultivating the national feelings of capitalists can we better safeguard the interests of the masses.
First, it is necessary to strengthen patriotic education for capitalists. The accumulation of wealth by the capitalists has benefited from the policy of reform and opening up and the strategy of "some people get rich first." It is necessary to make them realize that the national strategy has changed from "making the cake bigger" to "fair distribution", encourage the first rich groups to practice the policy of "the first rich lead the later to become rich", and guide the capital to change from profit-seeking to public welfare, so that all people can share the fruits of development.
Second, it is necessary to standardize capital operations and severely crack down on speculation. Conduct strict demonstration and evaluation of capital investment and development, judge the impact of capital account on social development in a timely manner, severely punish behaviors that create anxiety, undermine the overall social situation, and opportunistic behavior, and maintain the healthy operation of capital with strict supervision.
Third, it is necessary to mobilize the forces of the masses to form a common defense of the whole society. The masses of the people are the creators of history, and only by relying on the masses can we effectively restrain capital. For undesirable cultural phenomena such as crazy star chasing, fan circle culture, and "licking dog economy", it is necessary to uphold the principle of "no buying and selling, no harm", consumers consciously resist, curb it from the consumption terminal, and cut off the profit-seeking path of capital.
National development needs capital, and social progress is also inseparable from capital. The rational operation of capital can stimulate the vitality of the market and promote the development of productive forces and social progress. Therefore, it is necessary not only to strictly regulate capital, but also to guide capital to take into account both profit-seeking and public welfare, so that the positive role of capital can be brought into full play.
