This academic symposium brought together numerous leading scholars, renowned experts, and young students from the field of Marxist economics across the country.

This large-scale national academic conference showcased the new outlook of Chinese Marxist economists, who consciously serve the central work of the Party and the state, actively explore and respond to the questions of China, the world, the people, and the times, and strive with vigor and enterprise.

此次学术研讨会汇聚全国众多马克思主义经济学界的学术大家、知名学者和青年学子，围绕大会主题“中国式现代化与政治经济学理论创新”，进行大会主题报告、分议题发言和自由发言，展开充分地面对面交流和热烈讨论。此次大型全国性学术会议展现了中国马克思主义经济学者自觉服务党和国家中心工作，积极探索和回答中国之问、世界之问、人民之问和时代之问，奋发有为、开拓进取的崭新风貌。

I. In-depth discussion of the theoretical and practical issues of Chinese-path modernization, to boost the building of China into a great modern socialist country. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in the report to the 20th National Congress of the CPC that “we will advance the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on all fronts through a Chinese path to modernization” and “by the middle of this century, we will have turned China into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious, and beautiful, and that enjoys a leading composite national strength and international influence.” [1]1 The 20th National Congress of the CPC was held in October 2022. The quoted passage is from Xi Jinping’s report to that congress. Accordingly, the main theme of this annual academic conference was set as “Chinese-Path Modernization and Theoretical Innovation in Political Economy,” and the first-stage keynote topic of the main forum was also assigned this theme. The conference established eight major sub-forums, of which the first sub-forum’s theme was “Theoretical and Practical Research on Chinese-Path Modernization.” Under this first sub-forum, three sub-topics were set: “Political Economy Research on Chinese-Path Modernization,” “Comparative Research on Capitalist Modernization and Socialist Modernization,” and “The Communist Party of China and Chinese-Path Modernization.”

一、深入研讨中国式现代化的理论和实践问题，助推我国社会主义现代化强国建设。习近平总书记在党的二十大报告中指出，“以中国式现代化推进中华民族伟大复兴”，“到本世纪中叶，把我国建设成为综合国力和国际影响力领先的社会主义现代化强国。”为此，此次学术年会的大会主题确定为“中国式现代化与政治经济学理论创新”，大会主论坛第一阶段发言主题也设为该主题。大会设立八大分论，其中第一分论坛主题设为“中国式现代化的理论与实践研究”。第一分论坛主题下又下设三大分议题：“中国式现代化的政治经济学研究”、“资本主义现代化与社会主义现代化的比较研究”、“中国共产党与中国式现代化”。

II. Full exchange on the theoretical frontiers and academic developments of political economy, to advance the disciplinary construction of Marxist political economy.

二、充分交流政治经济学的理论前沿和学术动态，推进马克思主义政治经济学学科建设。

Political economy is both an important second-level discipline within the first-level discipline of theoretical economics and one of the three major components of Marxist theory. Engels believed that the proletarian party’s “whole theory is derived from the study of political economy.” [2]2 Friedrich Engels, “Outlines of a Critique of Political Economy” (1844). Lenin regarded political economy as “the most profound, most comprehensive, and most detailed proof and application” of Marxist theory. [3]3 V. I. Lenin, “Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism” (1913). Comrade Mao Zedong repeatedly took the lead in studying Capital and the Soviet Textbook of Political Economy, emphasizing that Party cadres must master political economy. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed the need to “study and apply political economy well,” taking the lead in collective study of Marxist political economy, pointing out that “Marxist political economy is an important component of Marxism and a required course for us to uphold and develop Marxism,” and that “various economic theories are diverse, but the foundation of our political economy can only be Marxist political economy, and no other economic theory.” [4]4 Xi Jinping’s remarks on studying political economy, from speeches in 2014 and 2015. Accordingly, to promote the disciplinary construction of political economy, the themes of the eight sub-forums established at this annual academic conference were all related to the disciplinary construction of political economy.

政治经济学既是理论经济学一级学科中的重要二级学科，也是马克思主义理论中的三大组成部分之一。恩格斯认为无产阶级政党的“全部理论来自对政治经济学的研究”。列宁把政治经济学视为马克思主义理论“最深刻、最全面、最详尽的证明和运用”。毛泽东同志多次带头研读《资本论》、苏联《政治经济学教科书》，强调党的领导干部学好政治经济学。习近平总书记更是反复强调“要学好用好政治经济学”，带头集体学习马克思主义政治经济学，指出“马克思主义政治经济学是马克思主义的重要组成部分，也是我们坚持和发展马克思主义的必修课”，“各种经济学理论五花八门，但我们政治经济学的根本只能是马克思主义政治经济学，而不能是别的什么经济理论。”为此，此次学术年会为推动政治经济学学科建设，设立的八大分论坛主题也都与政治经济学学科建设相关。

For example, the theme of Sub-Forum 4 was “Basic Theoretical Research on Marxist Political Economy,” with sub-topics including “Research on Marxist Economic Methodology,” “Research on the Labor Theory of Value and the Theory of Surplus Value under Digital Economy Conditions,” as well as other presentation topics such as “American Marxist Economic Schools,” “Marx’s Ecological Consumption Thought,” and “The Productive Nature of Service Labor.”

例如，分论坛四主题为“马克思主义政治经济学基础理论研究”，下设分议题为“马克思主义经济学方法论研究”、“数字经济条件下的劳动价值论和剩余价值理论研究”，以及“美国马克思主义经济学流派”、“马克思生态消费思想”、“服务劳动的生产性”等其他发言主题）。

For example, the theme of Sub-Forum 3 was “Research on Socialist Political Economy with Chinese Characteristics,” with sub-topics including “Research on the Methodology of Socialist Political Economy with Chinese Characteristics,” “Research on the Nature of Capital under the Conditions of the Socialist Market Economy,” and “Research on the Application of Marxist Economics in China.”

例如，分论坛三主题为“中国特色社会主义政治经济学研究”，下设分议题为“中国特色社会主义政治经济学方法论研究”、“社会主义市场经济条件下的资本性质研究”，以及“马克思主义经济学在中国的应用研究”等。

例如，分论坛二主题为“习近平经济思想研究”，下设分议题为“共同富裕研究”、“国有资本和国有企业发展研究”、“乡村振兴研究”，以及“构建高水平社会主义市场经济体制研究”、“高质量发展研究”等其他发言主题。

In addition, to strengthen research on contemporary capitalism, a sub-forum was established with the theme “New Developments in Contemporary Capitalism and Theoretical Innovation in Marxist Economics.” To promote the modernization of analytical tools in political economy, the seventh sub-forum was established with the theme “Mathematical Analysis in Political Economy.” To advance comparative research between Marxist economics and Western economics, the first-stage presentation topic of the closing ceremony was set as “Comparative Research on Marxist Economics and Western Economics.”

此外，为了强化对当代资本主义的研究，设立了主题为“当代资本主义新发展与马克思主义经济学理论创新”。为了推动政治经济学分析工具的现代化，设立了主题为“政治经济学的数理分析”的第七分论坛。为了推动马克思主义经济学与西方经济学的比较研究，大会闭幕式第一阶段的发言主题设定为“马克思主义经济学与西方经济学的比较研究”。

III. To promote the development of applied economics based on Marxist economic theory, Sub-Forum 5 was specially established: “Research on Applied Economics Based on Marxist Economic Theory.” Its sub-topics included “Research on Marxist International Economics,” “Research on Marxist Financial Studies,” as well as other presentation topics such as Marxist industrial economics, technological economics, and consumer economics.

三、为了推动以马克思主义经济学理论为基础的应用经济学发展，特设立分论坛五“以马克思主义经济学为理论基础的应用经济学研究”。下设分议题为“马克思主义国际经济学研究”、“马克思主义金融学研究”，以及马克思主义产业经济学研究、技术经济学研究、消费经济学研究等其他发言主题。

IV. To promote the development of schools of Marxist economics, Sub-Forum 8 was specially established: “Theoretical and Policy Innovation in Shanghai School Economics,” [5]5 “Shanghai School Economics” (海派经济学) refers to a contemporary Chinese school of Marxist economics centered on scholars such as Cheng Enfu, emphasizing the integration of Marxist principles with Chinese economic practice. to foster innovative development and policy application of Marxist economics.

V. To promote integrity and innovation in academic style and conference style, all keynote presentations at the main forum and presentations at the sub-forums of this symposium were targeted, focusing on the designated sub-topics. The symposium established a total of eight main themes and nineteen sub-topics. The agenda arranged speakers based on the conference topics, and speakers also concentrated their presentations on the designated topics. In terms of agenda timing, sufficient time was reserved under each sub-topic for free discussion and Q&A among participating scholars. Not only was there active interaction between speakers and the audience, but speakers under the same topic also engaged in constructive exchanges, achieving good academic communication results. In addition, the conference agenda listed only the institutional affiliation of speakers, without titles or professional ranks, and selected speakers based on the conference theme and the quality of submitted papers.
