Wu Jinglian (吴敬琏; born January 24, 1930) is one of the preeminent economists of the People's Republic of China (PRC), primarily specializing in economic policy as it applies to China's ongoing series of economic reforms. Renowned for his resolute conviction that socialism is compatible with a market system, he is affectionately referred to in the media as Wu Shichang (吴市场; "Market Wu"). Wu currently () holds multiple positions, the most important of which are: Professor of Economics at both the China Europe International Business School and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; Senior Research Fellow for the Developmental Research Centre of the State Council of the PRC; and Member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Wu graduated from Fudan University with a degree in economics in 1954. Through his long career, he has, in addition to his professorships at Chinese universities, been visiting researcher and professor at a number of international universities, including Yale, MIT, Duke, Stanford, and Oxford. A prominent target of political persecution during the Cultural Revolution, Wu was criticized for advocating the doctrine of "bourgeois right," more simply understood as the principle of "compensation according to work." He was forced to make public denunciations of his revered teacher Sun Yefang, for which he later expressed deep regret. He has honoured the memory of another victim of political persecution, Gu Zhun, whose unyielding character and pioneering attempts to revise Marxian economics in a market-oriented direction were for Wu a source of enlightenment. Having called for China's opening up and celebrated its entry to the WTO, Wu was distressed by the side-effects of rapid growth: corruption, inequitable distribution, and crony capitalism (more often the "magnate capitalism" in Chinese). In the last ten years he has joined Qin Hui, He Qinglian and other public intellectuals in raising social justice to prominence on the policy agenda. Wu is also the author of a number of books on China's economic reform. In 2008, state-owned media in China started calling Wu a spy for the U.S. The fact state-owned newspaper People Daily was authorized to call him such indicates that his economic and political ideas are great annoyances for the current leadership.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/27/business/global/27spy.html?_r=1&ref=business〕 Wu pointed out that “old-style Maoists” have been gaining influence in the government since 2004.〔 These groups, he said, are pressing for a return to central planning and placing blame for corruption and social inequality on the very market reforms he championed.〔 Wu also pointed out that corrupt bureaucrats are pushing for the state to take a larger economic role so they can cash in on their positions through payoffs and bribes, as well as by steering business to allies.〔 Because of these developments, Wu is not optimistic about the future of China, because “()he Maoists want to go back to central planning and the cronies want to get richer.” 〔 ==Books== * ''Fifteen Critical Issues of the Reform of SOEs'', 1999 * ''Reform: Now at a Critical Point'', 2001 * ''Understanding and Interpreting Chinese Economic Reform'', Texere, 2005 (ISBN 1-58799-197-7) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wu Jinglian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
