An Disambiguation of Arrighi's View of Smithism with Chinese Characteristics
According to Arrighi,both the Ming and Qing Dynasties and contemporary China follow a"natural"non-capitalist market development path,which has not only practiced Smithism,but also proved its correctness.Therefore,the view of"Adam Smith in Beijing"occurs.However,the so-called Smith,as the premise of this argument,does not exist.This argument neither distinguishes contemporary China from the nation during the Ming and Qing Dynasties,nor can it reasonably explain why"the global political and economic center has shifted from North America to East Asia"and why contemporary China can become"a leader in the economic revival of East Asia".According to Marx and Engels,China's traditional socio-economic structure that relies on the combination of small-scale agriculture and the household industry is inevitably disrupted by the capitalist mode of production and thus drawn into civilization.The Communist Party of China,socialism with Chinese characteristics and Marxism adapted a to the Chinese context and the needs of the times have enabled China to achieve leapfrog development.In other words,it is not"Adam Smith in Beijing",but Marx and Engels in China.
