The Formation Mechanism and Path of New Quality Productive Forces——The Interpretation Based on Historical Materialism
New quality productive forces represent an advanced state of productivity,and the examination of their formation process inevitably returns to the exploration of crucial categories such as productivity and relations of production.Given the intersectional relationship between the latter two in terms of their extensions,from the perspective of historical materialism,the contradiction be-tween"the infinitely growing needs of humanity"and"limited labor time and labor capacity"serves as a more primordial contra-diction.This contradiction is the driving force for the material-technical attributes of productivity,the mode of division of labor and collaboration,and the respective development of all relations.It triggers qualitative changes in the former two and the latter two via six paths,giving rise to new quality productive forces.The"newness"of new quality productive forces is manifested in the ability of laborers to generate excess surplus value in a qualitative manner(complex labor).It is necessary to commence from three aspects:the socialist market economic system,direct incentive policies,and ownership and distribution methods,effectively motivate the direct cultivators of new quality productive forces,including scientists and technicians,entrepreneurs,economists,and government personnel,so as to guarantee the steady development of new quality productive forces.
