Abstract:

In China' s current development of economy, it is a large and profound change to transform the mode of economic growth. If the desired goal is truly to be achieved, the issue of the "basic orientation" must be made clear of. This essay holds that, in transforming the economic growth mode, the principle of "taking human development as the orientation" should be clearly put forward. Theoretically, the principle reflects the essence of Marxism, possessing the fundamental value in the development of contemporary human civilization; and in practice, it is a rational choice of getting rid of the inertial operation of "GDPcentrism"; and from the analysis of future trends, it is also a necessary requirement of adapting to the new changes of human demands in China' s new stage. For transforming the economic growth mode by taking human development as the orientation, the following four points should be focused on: on the structure of requirements, attach importance to the improvement of the "consumption rate"; and on the structure of industry, lay stress on the development of modern service industry; and on the structure of input factors, give an emphasis on the independent innovation of the main body; and in the aspect of sustainable development, think highly of the "harmony of man with nature" and the green development. And the accomplishment of the abovementioned will inevitably be touched on the deep institutional problems, especially the following aspects, which should be reformed urgently. First, improve the system of the income distribution so as to solve problem of the "three tilts"; secondly, improve the dual structure of urban and rural areas so as to promote the urbanrural integration; thirdly, in accordance with the "generalized theory of property rights", establish the system of environmental property rights; fourthly, promote the transformation of the government, which is the key to the transformation of the economic growth mode.

Key words: economic growth mode, human development, basic orientation, economic system
