In the early 1980s, it was the rise of neoliberal economic theory.Keynesian economics, which has been popular since the 1930s, helped the West out of the 29-33 crisis before World War II, and once became the most important ruling theoretical guidance in Western countries after the war, creating the economic glory of the 1950s and 1960s.After entering the 1970s, the large amount of government intervention advocated by Keynesian economics gradually caused some consequences, and the general stagflation in Western countries forced economists to reflect on the destruction of the normal economic order by deficit and inflation, and the neoliberal theory came into being.

The neoliberal economic proposition is simply to think that the government should not intervene in the economy, give full play to the role of market regulation, and stimulate the vitality of market players.The implementation of specific policies includes privatization, encouragement of free trade, elimination of deficit finance, and so on.In this regard, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is a banner, and she has boldly cut social welfare and sold a large number of state-owned enterprises to private individuals, fully reflecting the demands of neoliberalism.

Thatcher’s reforms did bring some gratifying results in the early days, but Feng knew that the negative effects of such reforms would be felt in a few years.Instead of revitalizing new life as economists predicted, the privatized state-owned enterprises were decimated by the loss of state protection, leaving the entire country without competitiveness.

The neoliberal theory is not limited to one British.South America was also seen as a successful example of neoliberal theory at that time, with South American countries liberalizing controls under a large number of Nobel laureates in economics, allowing foreign capital to buy domestic industries and allow foreign goods to hit the domestic market.At the beginning, due to the entry of a large number of tourists, South America showed a thriving scene and became a bright spot in the global economy.But the ensuing financial turmoil brought South America back to the prototype.By the time Feng Xiaochen passed through, "Latin Americanization" has become a curse, saying which country is "Latin American", basically that people's economy is about to collapse.

It is not to be said that in a few years, Russia’s experience in neoliberal ideology guiding the next step toward the abyss of death is not to mention.Economists in the future, when talking about neoliberal believers such as Geddar, will say with one voice: We do not know him!

However, all of these things have to wait a few years.Today, neoliberalism remains the cosmological truth that global economists believe in.Chinese economists, motivated by political concerns, are inconvenient to openly support this theory, but in private, they agree.Qi Ruikang is a straightforward person, speaking unobstructed, in front of a classmate, naturally put this idea out.Hearing Feng Xiaochen question the neoliberal theory, he was very disdainful in his heart, and he let out the frenzy to bet with Feng Zhichen.

“How do you bet?”

Hearing the words of Qi Ruichang, Feng Xiaochen asked with interest.

"You can bet on a meal, for example."Qi Rui said.

Feng Xiaochen shook his head, “I’m not asking about the bet, I’m asking you what you want to bet on?”

"Just bet you just said, don't you say that Mrs. Thatcher's reform will not have a good result, I will bet you this."Qi Rui said.

Feng Xiaochen said, “The results are good, how to evaluate it?”In the foreseeable future, the British economy will certainly not collapse, after all, the thin camel is bigger than the horse, within 30 years, to see the British economy collapse, I am afraid it is not easy.When I say that Mrs. Thatcher’s reform is not good, I mean that it does not give Britain the opportunity to grow, and the UK will stagnate in the future and lose its competitiveness internationally.”

“Stag off?”Qi Ruicang sneered, “Little Feng, you won’t believe the idea that imperialism is dying, right?”How many years have we spoken, the result is that people are dying, but our own economy is on the verge of collapse.You say that the future of the UK will stagnate, I can bet you that in the next 20 years, the gap between the UK and our China, as long as it gets bigger and bigger, do you believe it?”

20 years?Feng Xiaochen calculated in his mind.Now is 1984, 20 years later, it is 2004, when China's GDP has left the UK behind, if you want to say that the gap is getting bigger and bigger, it is also China to open the gap with the United Kingdom, not the opposite.

"I bet on this."Feng Xiaochen said with a smile, with gold fingers to bully people, it is a bit of a victory.However, a 20-year bet, that is to say, is it just that Feng Xiaochen will really take this bet to let Qi Ruican invite him to dinner after 20 years?

The people here obviously also thought of what such a time span of 20 years means, and everyone took the bet between Qi Ruicang and Feng Xiaochen as a cold joke.

Qirukang's pursuit of neoliberal economic theory has different attitudes.In his eyes, Xie is worshipped by Western theory, but he will not say it, because he feels that this kind of talk is inconsistent with policy, and it may affect the future.There are some contradictions in the psychology of Ding Shiquan, he grew up learning socialist economic theory, and he was unable to adapt to his sudden transfer to Western economic theory.On the other hand, he admits that Western economic theory does have some truths, which he cannot refute, and is not willing to criticize such a theory with conscience in order to show his political will.

Wang Zhenbin and Yu Rui one is a college student in the 1960s, one is a college student in the 70s, the foundation of economic theory is not good, the understanding of the neoliberal point of view is more about it is more fashionable, and it seems to be very high, but the specific right is wrong, they can not say.As cadres who have worked in the organs for many years, they instinctively warn themselves to stay away from Western doctrines so as not to commit crimes.If any superior leader at this time said that this theory was good, they would naturally immediately change and then stand in the same trench with Qirezang.

Whatever your view of neoliberal theory, there is at least one point that they can agree on, and that is that the knowledge of Qirekang is in any case more profound than Feng Zhichen.Feng Zhichen himself said that he only had a junior high school degree, and it is estimated that not even Keynes, Samuelson and these names have not been heard.He bet with Qi Ruicang that I am afraid that the civil science is challenging the academician, or that Don Quixote is challenging the windmill.

"Well, old Qi and Xiao Feng, this bet, we are all witnesses."In 20 years, no matter who wins or loses, we can have a drink.Speaking of the half-day theory, it is boring enough, I said a real problem, old Wang, second sister, you are both the director of the big unit, can you give us a few young people to find a chance to make money ah, relying on graduate salary, we want to come out to drink a lot of wine are difficult."

Tina laughed and tugged at the beginning.The second sister he said naturally meant that Yu Rui, according to the number of years, Yu Rui was the second in the class, and it was very appropriate for everyone to call her second sister.

"Yes, yes, although the salary of graduate students is paid according to the government, more than 40 yuan a month is really not enough to spend, and now the price rises much faster."Old Wang, second sister, you are all in the ministry, to find some opportunities to make extra money, it should not be difficult?"Sheckle also agrees.

In the original unit, he had already talked about an object, and it was estimated that he should have been married during his graduate studies.At present, the standard of marriage for young people is getting higher and higher, making furniture and buying electrical appliances, at least five or six thousand yuan, and running a wedding is also a cost of more than 1,000 yuan to calculate.The identity of the graduate student is very beautiful, but a penny is difficult to defeat the hero, and there is no money to say anything.

Wang Zhenbin said, “The opportunity to make money can be found in the ministry.”Sometimes we need to translate some foreign information, and sometimes we need to ask people to help write some information, but also to pay labor costs.One-time cost will not be too much, ten or twenty dollars, that is, it is better to talk than nothing.In the past, when I was the director, I was able to decide what I was doing, and it was easy to arrange a chance for everyone at that time.

Now I have to go out of production to read, the work has been handed over to other comrades, to find such an opportunity, but also to ask a question.However, Xiao Ding, Xiao Xie, since you have brought it up, I will definitely remember it in my heart.It can be said in advance that the opportunity will not necessarily be too good, and you have to be prepared for this point of some mental preparation.”

Yu Rui also said: "Our situation of the Sports Reform Commission is more complicated, some work is more sensitive, not convenient to ask outside people to help."However, when I was in the health reform committee, I also had work links with some other units, and then I would pay attention to the things that I could help the students in the class, and I would find a way to take it.It is not easy to make a lot of money on these things, and the money to eat, drink and drink should still be able to earn.”

"Thank you so much for the king and the second sister."Tina said with joy.He is not yet under the pressure of marriage, but his family is rural, and his parents and brothers need him to subsidize, and it is best to be able to make extra money.He picked up his glass and was preparing to pay tribute to Wang Zhenbin and Yu Rui, and the afterglow in the corner of his eyes swept to Feng Xiaochen, and suddenly felt that what he had just said was somewhat flawed.Feng Xiaochen also came from the ministry, but also has the title of deputy director, he patronized Wang Zhenbin and Yu Rui for help, but ignored Feng Xiaochen, but there is some wrong, so he quickly changed his mouth:

"Well, yes, there is Xiao Feng, you are also working in the ministry, there must be some such opportunities?"Come, the three of us, the leaders of the three ministries, and we will have to ask you to find more work for us in the future."
