“贫富差距悬殊”不是和谐社会——十六届五中全会关于“社会公平”、“调节收入分配”思想探析

党的十六届五中全会极大地关注了"社会公平"问题。解决收入差距过大的问题,是改革步入新阶段实现小平同志"共同富裕"思想的需要,是建立党提出的"和谐社会"的必然。中国现存的收入差距悬殊问题,不能归咎于发展"市场经济"。要解决好这一问题,有待于继续完善市场经济体制,同时要求政府发挥"看得见的手"的合理调节作用。

"Extreme Disparity between the Rich and the Poor" is not a Harmonious Society

The issue of "social justice" was much paid attention to in the 5th Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the CPC. To solve the problem of extreme disparity in income is the requirement for fulfilling Deng Xiaoping's ideal of "common rich" in a new age as well as the necessity for a harmonious society. The existing problem in China cannot be owed to the market economy. We should further perfect the market economy system and bring into effect the regulation of the government as the "visible hand".
