As with Xu Haodong's judgment, despite Yunling's reputation, it is only a fourth-tier city after all, and if it weren't for someone to match, a few so-called economists would not have been able to go to Yunling to make waves.

The person who made the matchmaking was indeed Deputy Mayor Liu Junru.

Xu Haodong was unhappy, and Liu Junru's behavior had two major mistakes, one was not to pay attention to politics, and the other was to be undisciplined.

Of course, Xu Haodong still understands Liu Junru a little, like Fang Licheng and Zheng Tengyu, Liu Junru is also a loyal believer in Qiu and Ke, and believes in liberal economic theory.

Liu Junru miscalculated that he thought that the people of Yunling were so rich that entrepreneurs were everywhere, and it was a piece of cake to find some wronged people, and the whole five or six million was a piece of cake. But his reputation as deputy mayor is not good, Yunling people are shrewd and cherish money, pay attention to reality, and do not talk about empty words, I heard that it is for a few economists, but no one is willing to do so. There are some people who respond, verbally welcomed, but they just refused to pay out of their pockets, and a few people were willing, but it was also like receiving donations and charity, tens of thousands of yuan, these guys who drove helicopters and brand-name cars, and refused to pay double-digit money.

The teacher and the two senior brothers have been in Yunling for two days, and Liu Junru understands very well that if he does not report to Xu Haodong, the secretary of the municipal party committee, his responsibility will be great.

I didn't expect Xu Haodong to be able to pretend, but he actually said that he didn't know that Qiu Youke and his party had been in Yunling for more than 50 hours, and they treated Liu Junru as a fool.

Liu Junru reported to Xu Haodong the relevant information of Qiu and Ke and his party, "...... Secretary Haodong, how do you think this matter should be handled? ”

"What to do?" Xu Haodong kicked the ball back, "We should be deeply honored that the big economist came to Yunling City, but it was not us who took the initiative to invite, so it is not good for us to come forward directly, and our Yunling City has canceled the public money entertainment system, and we can't afford to entertain people, so pretending to be deaf and dumb is the best way." ”

"That's not good." Liu Junru said: "Mr. Qiu Youke is one of the top five economists in my country, and people can come to Yunling City because they can afford our Yunling City, and we should give people the necessary respect." ”

Xu Haodong glanced at Liu Junru, "He's your teacher?" ”

Liu Junru said: "Yes and no, not in public, not in public, but I agree with his merit-based distribution principle, I think this is his greatest academic achievement." ”

"I don't dare to be harsh." Shaking his head, Xu Haodong said: "Regarding the principle of merit-based distribution, it was published in the former Soviet Union as early as 1939, and the author Kontorovich also won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1971 for this book, which was 20 years earlier than Qiu and Ke's book. This cannot be called an academic achievement, but it is a common face with academic corruption and plagiarized papers. And his bestsellers such as "On Getting Rich" are just essays for lovers of economics, and although they are not lacking in reading fun, they have little to do with the economics of economists. Therefore, Qiu Youke, relative to the title of economist, has neither flesh nor bones, and his skinny bones are like economists, much like a sheet tied to a toothpick. ”

Liu Junru was unhappy, "Secretary Xu, you can't evaluate my teacher like this." ”

"I'll tell you the truth, your teacher is far inferior to your student, he doesn't understand the subject of economics, and he can't correctly understand the role of economics. In fact, economics, as a category of contemporary social science, is still debated in the West, believing that it is not an objective science, but an ideology. All of its theories are based on past experience and assumptions about the future. Whether the present and future social conditions can satisfy this hypothesis, and when the social conditions do not meet the hypothesis, whether to revise the economic theory or let reality adapt to the theory. Obviously, everything is based on reality, and we should develop new theories to adapt to reality, or adopt a variety of economic theories to deal with the problems that arise in reality. Qiu Youke did not see it that way, he believed that economics was the only objective science, that economics could solve all problems, and that the only correct economic theory was neoliberal microeconomics. ”

Liu Junru said: "You are very good at grasping other people's weaknesses. ”

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Xu Haodong smiled and said: "He also wrote a big article called "Theory of Crisis", which contains this paragraph: 'Since the food crisis, land crisis, energy crisis, and water crisis do not exist, why do so many experts say that the crisis does exist?' First of all, because experts in all fields may not understand economics, and those who really understand economics will not be intimidated by these crises. The main thrust of the whole text is to argue that these crises do not exist in our country at all, and the conclusion is that if you understand economics, you will not be frightened by these crises. The logic of this itself is very problematic, whether there is a crisis or whether you will be frightened or not belong to two categories, do you mean that there is a crisis or the attitude towards the crisis? This is off-topic. The question is that when food experts, land experts, energy experts, and water resources experts put forward their own problems, they do not need to know economics, they only need to use their professional knowledge to raise problems within their own professional scope, and as for solving problems, they need to work together with experts from other disciplines to solve them. Finding problems and issuing warnings has nothing to do with economics, and if economists feel that it is not a crisis and can be easily solved, then it is an opportunity for economists to show their skills, and they can give it a try. To think that experts in other fields must know economics before they can engage in the study of their own profession is arrogant and ignorant of economics. ”

Liu Junru was still stiff-mouthed, "Secretary Xu, do you think neoliberal economics is useless?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "In fact, the neoliberal economics he tried his best to construct is full of mistakes and omissions in the model of social and economic aspects, and in the actual proposals, and his neoliberal economics is not a panacea. Japanese economist Shiozawa Tanori believes that the theoretical model of neoliberalism must meet four conditions in order to be established in order to be restored to reality: First, producers do not need to pay costs for the timely transfer of investment according to price signals; second, the existing structure of social productive forces, that is, the stock of capital, is non-rigid and therefore can be freely transformed or discarded at any time; third, the new resources and new technological elements necessary for the transfer of investment and the transformation of productive forces are infinitely and freely supplied; and fourth, the surplus of production capacity will never occur. However, in reality, there is no such economic system that can meet the above four conditions at the same time. ”

Liu Junru nodded reluctantly, "I have also read Shiozawa Tiannori's book, and I also agree with Shiozawa Tiannori's point of view." ”

Xu Haodong smiled again: "Comrade Junru, as a grassroots official who has been in the county economic circle for several years, I have a more personal understanding of the four conditions mentioned by Shiozawa Tiandian. ”

Liu Junru had to be humble, "Secretary Xu, I am willing to continue to listen to your high opinions." ”
