教育部青年长江学者、西南大学马克思主义学院院长白显良教授主持开幕式，西南大学党委常委、副校长崔延强教授出席并致辞。崔延强教授高度肯定了此次论坛的意义，并希望各高校和研究院之间、全国各马克思主义学院和经济学院之间能够更紧密地交流、合作，携手推进马克思主义理论学科的建设和发展。

Subsequently, the conference centered on the theme “70 Years since the Founding of the People’s Republic of China and the Development and Important Contributions of Marxist Political Economy.” Participating representatives delivered academic reports and engaged in heated discussions focusing on topics such as “Discipline Construction of Political Economy and Youth Development,” “Historical Changes and Basic Experiences of China’s Economic Development since the Founding of the People’s Republic of China,” “The Sinicization of Marxist Political Economy and Its Latest Achievements,” “Basic Theories of Marxist Political Economy and Their Contemporary Value,” and “The International Political and Economic Landscape in the Transformation of Globalization and New Changes in Contemporary Capitalism.”

随后，会议围绕“新中国成立70周年与马克思主义政治经济学的发展和重要贡献”展开探讨。与会代表重点就“政治经济学学科建设与青年发展”、“新中国成立以来我国经济发展的历史变迁与基本经验”、“马克思主义政治经济学中国化及其最新成果”、“马克思主义政治经济学基础理论及其时代价值”、“全球化转型中的国际政治经济格局与当代资本主义新变化”等议题作学术报告，并展开热烈讨论。

In his keynote report, Professor Cheng Enfu, Member of the Education, Science, Culture and Public Health Committee of the National People’s Congress, Member of the Presidium of the Academic Division and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that since reform and opening up, the New Marxist Economics Comprehensive School has achieved twelve major theoretical innovations, including: the theory of three stages of socialism, the theory of the socialist market economy, the new monism of living labor value, the theory of the dual-nature economic man of self-interest and altruism, the theory of dual constraints of resources and needs, the theory of the co-promotion and co-directional change of fairness and efficiency, the theory of high performance of public ownership, the theory of dual functional regulation by the market and the state, the theory of the great cultural economy, the theory of intellectual property advantages, the theory of the new imperialism, and the theory of the quasi-center of the world economy.

全国人大科教文卫委员会委员、中国社会科学院学部主席团成员、学部委员程恩富教授在主旨报告中指出，改革开放以来新马克思经济学综合学派具有十二大理论创新，包括社会主义三阶段论、社会主义市场经济论、新的活劳动价值一元论、利己利他双性经济人论、资源需要双约束论、公平效率互促同向变动论、公有制高绩效论、市场国家功能性双重调节论、大文化经济论、知识产权优势论、新帝国主义论、世界经济准中心论。

Professor Hu Leming, Deputy Director of the Institute of Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, explained from the perspective of institutional change three reasons for the success of China’s transformation and development since reform and opening up: first, the direction of transformation was clear and stable; second, the mode of transformation was active and gradual; third, the path of transformation was a two-way interaction under the impetus of the state, where the government and the market promoted and complemented each other. China’s transformation and development is still underway. It is necessary to strengthen social construction and fully leverage the dynamic role of community governance; it is necessary to bring into play the regulatory role of social values such as fairness and justice; it is necessary to further improve our party politics and government governance; it is necessary to better realize the “integrated interaction, symbiosis and co-prosperity” of the government, the market, and society.

中国社会科学院经济研究所副所长胡乐明教授从制度变迁角度，解释了改革开放以来中国转型发展成功的三个原因：一是转型方向明确稳定；二是转型方式是积极渐进；三是转型路径是国家推动下的政府与市场互促共进的双向互动。中国的转型发展正在路上，必须加强社会建设并充分发挥社群治理的能动作用；必须发挥公平正义等社会价值的调节作用；必须进一步完善我们的政党政治和政府治理；必须更好地实现政府、市场与社会的“融合互动、共生共荣”。

Researcher Yu Bin, Director of the Department of Marxist Principles Research at the Institute of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that Marx’s views and Sraffa’s views are opposed, yet some people have stolen Marx’s name to construct a Marx-Sraffa model, attempting to replace Marx’s correct views with the erroneous views of Sraffa and his follower Nobuo Okishio. The accurate term for this so-called Marx-Sraffa model should be the Sraffa-Okishio model, and its foundation is the input-output table.

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院马克思主义原理研究部主任余斌研究员指出，马克思的观点和斯拉法的观点是对立的，但是有人却窃用马克思的名义构建马克思—斯拉法模型，企图用斯拉法和他的继承者置盐信雄的错误观点来取代马克思的正确观点。这种所谓的马克思—斯拉法模型的准确说法应当是斯拉法—置盐模型，它的根基是投入产出量表。

Professor Jiang Yongmu, Dean of the School of Economics of Sichuan University, pointed out that since the founding of the People’s Republic of China 70 years ago, the evolution of the connotation of agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics has sequentially passed through the “technology-dominated stage,” the “stage where technology and institutions are equally emphasized,” the “institution-dominated stage 1,” and the “institution-dominated stage 2,” forming four major characteristics: the logical premise becoming increasingly scientific, the goal orientation becoming continuously diversified, the core content becoming progressively perfected, and the development strategy becoming gradually mature. Over the past 70 years, the connotation of agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics has evolved towards a scientific, comprehensive, and systematic direction. This fundamentally stems from adhering to the development path with Chinese characteristics under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China, actively liberating and developing agricultural productive forces, adjusting and improving agricultural relations of production, and continuously exploring and pioneering the development path of agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics.

四川大学经济学院院长蒋永穆教授指出，新中国成立70年以来，中国特色农业现代化内涵的演进历程依次经历了“技术为主阶段”、“技术与制度并重阶段”、“制度为主阶段1”和“制度为主阶段2”，形成了逻辑前提渐趋科学、目标取向不断多元、核心内容日臻完善、发展战略逐步成熟等四大特征。70年来中国特色农业现代化的内涵朝着科学、全面和系统的方向演进，其根本源于在中国共产党的坚强领导下，坚持走中国特色发展道路，积极解放和发展农业生产力，调整和完善农业生产关系，不断探索和开拓中国特色农业现代化发展路径。

Professor Zhou Wen, Vice Dean of the Institute of Marxism of Fudan University, pointed out that Xi Jinping’s economic thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a New Era contains seven aspects, respectively concerning essential characteristics and fundamental guarantees, standpoint issues and development purposes, understanding laws, institutional issues, macro-control with Chinese characteristics, strategies and working methods, and work tactics, achieving a reconstruction of the basic concepts of modern economics. First, it emphasizes upholding the Party’s centralized and unified leadership over economic work; second, it emphasizes the economic standpoint centered on the people; third, it emphasizes independently taking a modernization development path that suits the national conditions; fourth, it elevates the promotion of a community with a shared future for mankind to the theoretical level of economics, transcending the comparative advantage theory of traditional international economics.

复旦大学马克思主义研究院副院长周文教授指出，习近平新时代中国特色社会主义经济思想包含七个方面内容，分别涉及本质特征和根本保障、立场问题和发展目的、认识规律、体制问题、中国特色宏观调控、战略和工作方法、工作策略，实现了对现代经济学基本概念的重构。第一，强调坚持党对经济工作的集中统一领导；第二，强调以人民为中心的经济学立场；第三，强调独立自主地走符合本国国情的现代化发展道路；第四，将推进人类命运共同体上升到经济学理论层面，超越了传统国际经济学的比较优势理论。

Additionally, over 40 experts and young scholars presented papers at the parallel sessions.

He pointed out that this forum received a total of 153 submissions during the call-for-papers phase. After expert selection, authors of nearly 120 papers were invited to attend, making it a veritable academic feast of Chinese Marxist economics in 2019. The attending experts and young scholars engaged in thorough academic exchanges, demonstrating the solid theoretical foundation and insight into practical issues of young scholars in Marxist political economy. Hou Weimin emphasized that researchers in Marxist political economy should, in their studies, uphold the integrity and innovation of Marxist political economy, adhere to the basic principles of Marxism, and use Marxist methodology to promote new theoretical innovations in Marxist political economy.
