Abstract:

Xi Jinping Thought on Economy systematically integrates the three crucial dimensions of Marxist political economy research-conceptual innovation, theoretical construction, and practical development-thereby achieving a historic leap in twenty-first-century Marxist political economy. At the conceptual level, Xi Jinping Thought on Economy distills and synthesizes China's experience through hallmark concepts, concentrating the new insights and propositions of socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics in the new era and advancing a "revolution in terminology" in contemporary Chinese economics. At the theoretical level, Xi Jinping Thought on Economy develops and integrates these hallmark concepts through a theory of productive forces with Chinese characteristics for the new era, systematically elucidating the concrete background, institutional mechanisms, guiding principles and methods, and target configuration of productive forces development in the new era, thus greatly enriching relevant Marxist theories. At the practical level, through the institutional arrangements and policy practices of governance in the new era, Xi Jinping Thought on Economy gives concrete form to hallmark concepts and the theory of productive forces and translates them into practice, helping China's economy weather storms, maintain steady progress, and move forward over the long term. From the generation of hallmark concepts, to the construction of a theory of productive forces, and further to the unfolding of economic practice, Xi Jinping Thought on Economy undertakes a holistic and structural exploration of a Chinese-featured "systematized body of economic theory" through an integrated framework of "concept-theory-practice" thereby opening up a new horizon for contemporary Chinese Marxist political economy.
