双轨制的历史使命和现实意义

价格双轨制的初衷是放调结合,即放开计划外和超计划的价格以及调整计划内的价格,最后完成由计划价格向市场价格的过渡。双轨制后来被曲解为一个产品两个价格。实践证明,双轨制是一个天才的创举,体现了中国体制转轨的特点。双轨制对当前中国推动资源价格、要素价格改革乃至政治体制改革仍具有重要借鉴意义。

Historical Mission and Practical Significance of the Dual System

The original intention of the dual pricing system is the combination of release and adjustment,i.e.to lift the control over the prices out of the plan and beyond the plan and to adjust the prices within the plan,so as to finally complete the transition from the planned pricing into the market pricing.The dual system was later misinterpreted as a product with two prices.Practice has proved that the dual system is a pioneering genius,reflecting the characteristics of China’s institutional transition.Such a system is still having its significance in the process of promoting the reforms of resource prices and factor prices,even the reform of the political system in China.
