Strengthen Planned Economy and Improve Planning Work

Abstract: Comrade Chen Yun, in his recent talks on how to strengthen planned economy, raised some basic issues about economic work at present. What he said bore major significance for both theory and practice. Over the last few years we have followed the correct policy of opening up our economy to the outside world and domestically activating the market, and we have made great achievements. In the future we will continue to implement the policy. At the same time, we must take notice of new situations and new problems cropping up in the course of executing the policy. For example, after we expanded the decision-making power of the enterprises and instituted the system of job responsibility in rural areas, questions of how to strengthen planned economy and improve planning work were posed. At present, a tendency to weaken or even break away from planned economy has, with varying degrees, surfaced in the areas of industrial and agricultural production, capital construction, circulation, and distribution. After the "gang of four" was smashed, many comrades who are engaged in theoretic studies, on the premise of upholding the planned economy, probed into problems of planning, market, commodity, and value and achieved positive results. Nevertheless, there have also appeared in individual cases the erroneous views of negating socialist planned economy. Thus Comrade Chen Yun's talks serve as a scientific tenet guiding us in analyzing the situation and correctly handling the problems.
