Abstract

The rapid growth of Chinese economy in 1978 has produced such problems as inequality between households and regions, increase of water and air pollution, period of high unemployment or high inflation, etc. It is not possible to solve these problems from measures from the policies formulated by western countries. Instead, it is necessary to find the philosophical problems underneath the economic thoughts from the three angles of Chinese tradition, modernism and postmodernism and integrate three problems, i.e., property rights, economic plans, and political authority. It is necessary to create a new and unique way of thinking and employ a constructive postmodernism approach to effectively tackle social sciences.
