Core Essentials of Political Economy of New Quality Productive Forces
New quality productive forces are productive forces generated by scientific and technological innovation as the leading role,coupled with the achievement of disruptive technological breakthroughs.The absence of such key break-throughs in scientific and technological development precludes the existence of new quality productive forces,indicating that advanced science and technology constitute the intrinsic driving force for new quality productive forces.The lessons of history and current trends all inspire us that in the new journey of building a great country and national rejuvenation,we must firmly promote high-quality development,improve independent innovation capabilities,and accelerate forming new quality productive forces.Only in this way can we truly grasp the initiative of development in fierce international competi-tion.New quality productive forces have been formed and demonstrated in practice as a strong driving force for high-quality development.To better accelerate the formation and development of new quality productive forces,it is nec-essary to summarize them from the perspective of political economy theories to guide new development practices.Hence,this paper focuses on the core essentials of the political economy of new quality productive forces.The first part introduces the connotation and important characteristics of the Marxist productivity theory,and based on this,re-veals in which aspects the theory of new quality productive forces has achieved inheritance,innovation,and development of the Marxist productivity theory.The second part reviews the understanding of the relationship between scientific and technological progress and economic growth in Western economic growth theories,and based on this,reveals in which aspects the theory of new quality productive forces has surpassed Western economic growth theories.The third part eluci-dates the important significance of proposing the theory of new quality productive forces.The main conclusions of this paper can be summarized in three aspects.Firstly,the theory of new quality productive forces has achieved the inheritance,innovation,and development of the Marxist productivity theory from the aspects of the connotation leap,combination innovation,attribute optimization,and construction of new production relations,com-pleting another great leap of the Marxist productivity theory.Secondly,the theory of new quality productive forces el-evates the general technological progress in Western economic growth theories to a strategic height of original and disrup-tive scientific and technological innovation,regards the development of productive forces triggered by scientific and tech-nological innovation as the fundamental driving force for economic growth,and forms a Chinese discourse and Chinese theory on the understanding of productive forces,completing the transcendence of Western economic growth theories.Thirdly,the important significance of the theory of new quality productive forces is its ability to promote China to achieve steady and sustained development in the historical journey of comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chi-nese nation with Chinese modernization,providing references for developing countries to get out of the"middle-income trap"and achieve economic catch-up,and promoting the creation of a new form of human civilization.The innovations of this paper are reflected in two aspects.On the one hand,based on the comparison with the Marx-ist productivity theory and Western economic growth theories,this paper demonstrates the transcendence of the theory of new quality productive forces,enriching theoretical research on new quality productive forces.On the other hand,this pa-per elucidates the important significance of the theory of new quality productive forces,reveals the practical path for a country to develop productive forces,and provides theoretical guidance for China and other countries to achieve a leap in productivity.
