It is not easy to effectively avoid or contain the occurrence of economic crisis! Since the first economic crisis broke out in England in 1788, in less than a hundred years, England has broken out eleven economic crises, large and small, and England does not know how many people are studying economic crises.

If there were really effective ways to avoid or contain the occurrence of economic crises, Britain would not have such frequent economic crises! In the final analysis, the economic crisis is caused by a system of free competition, and there is no effective way to do it except to reform the economic system.

After returning to China, Yi Zhengxing studied the economic crisis under the deliberate guidance of his father Yi Zhicontentment, and naturally knew this, but he also knew that his father would not be untargeted, thinking of Marx's "Capital" and "The Communist Manifesto", he vaguely felt that he seemed to have grasped a clue.

Zhao Liewen can be said to know Yi Zhicontent best, and immediately asked directly: "The big shopkeeper already has a countermeasure?" ”

"What is the nature of the economic crisis? It's a surplus, a relative excess. Yi Zhizhi said and lit a cigarette, turned around and continued to pace slowly, "Why is there a relative excess?" It is because of free competition, in fact, in my opinion, free competition is the ...... of disorderly competition. ”

Hearing this, Yi Zhengxing's eyes lit up, "What does my father mean is to formulate a system to turn this disorderly competition into orderly competition?" ”

"Yes!" Yi Zhicontent affirmed: "The state intervention in the economy, that is, the denial of the laissez-faire economic system of free competition, is changed to the state's control and guidance through macroeconomic regulation and control, and the control and regulation of the country's industrial production are strengthened."

Specifically, relevant laws should be enacted to stipulate the rules and regulations for the fair operation and fair competition of all industrial enterprises and industries, and to determine the production scale, price level, market distribution, wage standards, and working hours of each enterprise, so as to prevent the occurrence of overproduction caused by blind competition and disorderly competition. ”

After hesitating, Yi Zhengxing said: "Yuanqi's industrial layout in the provinces, does it belong to the ..... Macroeconomic regulation? ”

"Not bad." Yi Zhizhi said: "The industrial and commercial consulting bureaus set up by Yuanqi in various provinces and governments guide the provinces and governments to rationally use local mineral resources, transportation resources, human resources and other resources to open mines and factories, which can be called a kind of macroeconomic control, but it is not thorough and perfect enough. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The state guides and controls the economy through macroeconomic regulation and control, not only in the industrial aspect, but also in the agricultural and commercial aspects, raising the prices of agricultural products, increasing the peasants' incomes, and increasing the purchasing power of the peasants, while the commercial side can be regulated and controlled by formulating different tax rates.

In addition, it is also possible to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor by raising the tax rate and the welfare treatment of the drawings, and increase the income and purchasing power .......of ordinary people. ”

Yi Zhengxing's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, he knows very well that although these measures cannot eliminate the economic crisis from the root, they can undoubtedly greatly alleviate the harm of the economic crisis and may even prolong the cycle of the outbreak of the economic crisis, which is definitely worth trying, and it must be effective!

Zhao Liewen said coldly, "If these measures can effectively avoid or curb the occurrence of economic crises, Western countries will inevitably follow suit, how can we quickly surpass them?" ”

Without waiting for Yi Zhizhi to speak, Yi Zhengxing said: "How can it be so easy to imitate, let's just say that this 400 million yuan stimulus economic plan, how many Western countries can have such a strong strength to imitate?" England has the power, but who of those MPs would agree to do so? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Liewen couldn't help laughing, this is a fact, Yuanqi took out so much money to invest in infrastructure, and the government and the opposition were sensational, but Yuanqi was full of complaints, that is, Yi Zhi's prestige is high, otherwise it would have been turned upside down, who among the large and small shareholders of Yuanqi is willing to invest money in infrastructure construction with a long cycle and low returns?

Yi Zhixiang glanced at the two of them and said slowly: "Western countries pursue freedom and equality, and state intervention in the economy is obviously contrary to freedom and equality.

Moreover, these measures are not to deal with the current economic crisis, I am just proposing an idea to contain the economic crisis, which can be slowly improved and tried after taking office, and in addition, these measures need to be coordinated by corresponding monetary policies. Without enough financial support, even the best ideas are in the air. ”

After a slight sigh, Yi Zhengxing said: "If this economic crisis is wide-ranging, large-scale, and long-lasting, it will be a rare opportunity for my country to catch up with and surpass Western countries, in addition to this economic stimulus plan, will some corresponding measures ......be taken?" ”

"Of course." Yi Zhishu smiled and nodded, "Such a good opportunity, naturally, can't be easily wasted." After a pause, he casually instructed: "Call the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, ask them to ask for an increase in wages, an increase in rest time, a minimum wage, and an increase in medical benefits and retirement benefits...... and let them build momentum first." ”

He Tianyou, chairman of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, put down the telegram in his hand and took out from a drawer a report that had been prepared long ago proposing to increase wages, set the minimum wage, and improve workers' medical benefits and retirement benefits.

Unlike in the past, the percentage of wages proposed this time was as high as 20 percent, and the medical benefits and retirement benefits were also very high, not to mention those business owners, and even he, the chairman of the trade union, had an unreal feeling when he looked at this report.

He couldn't figure out what Yi Zhifen wanted to do. How could he ask for an increase in workers' wages and benefits for no reason, and the magnitude is still so large, could it be related to the 'five-year plan'? But when you think about it, the two don't seem to have much to do with each other.

Although he hesitated, he didn't dare to disobey what he had explained, and he was silent for a long time before he instructed the outside world: "Come on, submit this report to the Federation of Industry and Commerce." ”

The mud cow sent to the elephant of the Federation of Industry and Commerce entered the sea, and there was no response for several days, He Tianyou was puzzled and worried, and had the heart to send a telegram to Yi Zhizhi for instructions, but he was a little hesitant, thought about it again and again, and decided to calm down and ignore it.

He estimated that Yi Zhishu should return to Shanghai in the near future, and during this time, Shanghai gathered many officials, parliamentarians, wealthy businessmen, and ministers from various countries in China, and it was impossible for the other party to leave them dry for too long.
