China’s economic system, which developed from the institutions of central planning, must have had some merits during this period. But the development and ultimate structure of economic institutions are closely related to a country’s income level or stage of economic development.
高速发展期内，从中央计划体制演变而来的中国经济体制无疑有其过人之处。但经济体制的发展及其最终结构与一个国家的收入水平或经济发展阶段密切相关。如果现有体制的某些方面无法支撑经济进一步发展，就有可能反过来产生阻碍作用。经济增长并不一定需要“最好”的体制，而要看体制能否调整适应新的经济发展需求。从这个角度讲，关键是要确保经济体制能够许可全面的制度改革。
