Chapter 867 Her Royal Highness the Princess
Su Chen said: "Of course, it is an exchange on the current world economy, because LSE enjoys a high reputation in both the financial and political and business circles, and has also cultivated a large number of talents.

I think communicating with these outstanding talents is a matter of increasing knowledge, just like when Mr. Bernard Shaw visited our country. Unfortunately, we were fighting the invaders at that time.

And 55 years later, when I came to visit this university, in addition to paying high tribute to Mr. George Bernard Shaw as one of the founders, I also enjoyed a worldwide reputation for the economics of LSE.

And the regular economics debate between the college and the University of Cambridge is well-known and well-known in academic circles, and these are the reasons why I am here. "

The reporter immediately caught the loophole in the topic: "Mr. Su, do you say that because China's economy is not as good as Britain's?"

"It has been less than 40 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is normal to have an economic gap, but in fact, if you did not launch that unjust aggression against China during the two years from 1840 to 1842 War, I think we're still a little bit rich."

Su Chen glanced at everyone present, and then said, "I don't have to mention the events of the year when I come to visit this time, because if you fall behind, you will be beaten, whether it is China or other countries, this is an iron fact.

In fact, Britain has also encountered many wars. I believe you can't deny this, but how many years have you been since the age of navigation, and you are the first country in the world to complete the industrial revolution.

If you have such a family background and the economy is not better than New China, then you should doubt the ability of your rulers. "

"Hi, Mr. Su, I'm a reporter from The Guardian." Another reporter raised his hand, "Most of the "Currency War" you wrote used the United States as an example, and you believed that the United States would launch a currency war. Are you Do you think Britain's economy is inferior to America's?"

"I believe that I don't need to admit this. All of you already have this consensus." Su Chen said, "Do you think the British economy is better than the United States?"

No one answered this question.

Su Chen went on to say: "Some things, we can't figure out what the future of the world will look like just by reading books, but we should not be obsessed with the glory of the past, but should actively participate in the future of this world.

But now many people are waiting at the scene. If I continue to accept your interview, it will make these respected people neglected. Therefore, the interview is over. It is the first time for me to come to this university. I believe I will have a good time experience. "

There was a round of applause at the scene.

Surrounded by a group of people, Su Chen began to visit in the academy.

During the period, I also had friendly exchanges with a group of people, talking about their views on today's world economy.

Someone asked: "Mr. Su, you are now a well-known economist in the world. Do you think China can catch up with Britain and the United States in 50 years?"

Su Chen took the lead to see that it was Martin Jacques.

He smiled: "I will not make such predictions. If I say that China will take 30 years to complete the journey that developed countries such as Britain and the United States have completed in more than 200 years, you must think I am bragging.

If I say that it cannot be done within 50 years, you should say that I have no confidence in my country, and we have never tried to catch up with any other country, so I think we might as well wait and see. "

A man approached beside him, John Harry Dunning.

He asked, "Su, what do you think of economic globalization?"

In fact, the term globalization was coined by American economist T. Levy in 1985.

Prior to this, the concept of "internationalization" was used the most.

Since the 70s, John Harry Dunning has traveled all over the continents, attended various business seminars and delivered speeches. Under the trend of economic globalization, he actively advised developing countries and gained a high international reputation. He was also a member of the United Nations Working Group on Trade and Development.

Su Chen said: "Economic globalization is not only conducive to the rational allocation of resources and production factors around the world, but also to the global flow of capital and products, to the global expansion of technology, and to the economic development of underdeveloped regions. It is the manifestation of human development and progress, and the inevitable result of the development of the world economy."

Dunning said: "Indeed, but man, you can't use such an official language, it will make me doubt your real level."

Su Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet. For every country, economic globalization is a double-edged sword. It is both an opportunity and a challenge, especially for developing countries. Otherwise, you Nor will it actively advise those developing countries."

"Then when do you think China will be able to access economic globalization?" Dunning asked again.

"I don't think it will be possible to fully connect in the short term. I still say that, for China's economic development, we don't need to use predictions, but we have to give it to time."

Su Chen said: "In fact, we are also starting to participate in the global economy, but we have to find opportunities in challenges, so the time will be a bit slow."

"That's why your leaders are very cautious." Someone next to him interjected.

Su Chen turned his head and saw that it was Anthony Giddens.

A man of considerable background.

Known as the most famous social science scholar since John Maynard Keynes.

"Mr. Anthony, it's not a bad thing to be cautious sometimes." Su Chen said with a smile, "Because we have suffered too much, we must be cautious about some things."

Anthony asked: "Su, I read your book, and your views are very interesting. You seem to be a fusion of several genres, and you don't believe in any one genre."

Economists are actually introverted, because everyone believes in something different. Some believe in the classical school, which has a relatively long history. The core point of view is that the market can operate smoothly by itself, and the government should not participate in market intervention.

Since the founding of economics by Adam Smith, the classical school has always been the most orthodox school of economics. Adam Smith himself held this point of view, which is why he put forward the point of view of the "invisible hand".

Some believe in Keynesianism. The core point of the Keynesian school is that the market cannot run smoothly by itself, so the government needs to participate in the economy.

For example, the market is a big ship, and the government is the helmsman of the ship. Once the helmsman is left alone, the ship will have trouble.

Others believe in the monetarist school, which insists on returning to the classical school's point of view, that is, the government cannot intervene in the economy, and the government only needs to announce and strictly enforce an appropriate growth rate of currency issuance.

Since then, the debate over whether the government should intervene and should not intervene has been played out every day.

Both schools are constantly improving their academic point of view system.

In addition, there are many schools, such as the supply school.

Su Chen said: "No matter which genre, it is to study the laws of human economic activities, that is, the laws of value creation, transformation, and realization, and we are all standing on the shoulders of our predecessors.

Instead of discussing which genre is authentic, it is better to complement each other, because we are always moving forward, just like your current female prime minister's 'half-breed' doctrine. "

In fact, many of the policies that the Iron Maiden and her government pioneered in Britain have been emulated in other parts of the world: including privatization, deregulation, tax cuts, the removal of exchange rate controls, the crackdown on union power, and the celebration of wealth creation rather than wealth redistribution.

The result was growing economic inequality, which in turn led to inequality in social status and other areas, dominated by Thatcherism.

"Then what does this oriental wizard think about this 'hybrid' doctrine?" A woman's voice came from the side.

Su Chen turned his head to look, and then saluted and said hello: "His Royal Highness Princess Anne, hello..."

I didn't expect to meet this Princess Anne. I really want to breastfeed. My mother is here. Think about my mother's family. My uncle is here...
