How to understand the relationship between efficiency and fairness

How to Correctly Handle the Relationship Between Efficiency and Fairness Abstract: In different eras, there are different social productive forces. Then, in different eras, in order to better develop social and economic vitality and ensure social stability, we will make corresponding adjustments to the focus of efficiency and fairness to adapt to the society under this level of productivity.

However, efficiency and fairness must coexist and develop at any time, efficiency is the material basis of fairness, and fairness is the premise of efficiency development. Therefore, it is particularly important to properly handle the relationship between efficiency and fairness. Keywords:

Efficiency and fairness According to the Marxist viewpoint, fairness in the economic sense is the equality and rationality of the rules, rights, opportunities and results of economic activities, and it is a norm that regulates social relations and wealth distribution relations, it is not just a subjective concept, but has objective content, it is subject to a country's specific socio-economic structure, political structure and cultural structure, and has a relative, historical and objective nature. What is efficiency? The basic meaning of the concept of efficiency refers to the relationship between inputs and outputs or costs and benefits.

Fairness and efficiency are contradictory and unified, and they are both contradictory and mutually exclusive.

First, the interdependent side. Their unity is mainly manifested in the following aspects: First, efficiency is the basis of fairness.

Historically, the issue of fairness has only arisen after a certain level of efficiency has resulted in a surplus. When it is inefficient and there is no surplus produced, there is no point in talking about fairness. Judging from the historical trend of economic development in various countries, equity will only increase when material wealth is more abundant, and the more underdeveloped it is, the more unfair the income distribution will be.

In the communist society of the future, material wealth will be greatly abundant, and the whole society will be able to achieve the greatest fairness. In other words, efficiency makes fairness based on a stronger material foundation, and the ultimate realization of fairness must be based on efficiency.

The question of the intrinsic relationship between fairness and efficiency can also be understood as the question of efficiency and fairness. In this regard, there are three views in Western academic circles: the first is "efficiency first, taking into account fairness"; the second is "fairness first, taking into account efficiency"; The third is the "optimal combination of fairness and efficiency".

In fact, fairness and efficiency are contradictory and opposite, but they are also unified in nature.

The opposition between fairness and efficiency is reflected in the relationship between social fairness and efficiency. Social equity is the wealth of society in society through the power of the state.

This intervention is outside the scope of market regulation. On the one hand, the state imposes high taxes on the winners and beneficiaries of free competition in the market, and on the other hand, it uses the fiscal revenue from tax revenue in the form of transfer payments to help the weak and the poor, which is a way to achieve social equity. However, excessively high taxes have led to a relative reduction of funds available for productive inputs, resulting in a decline in social production capacity.

The decrease in the difference in productivity and performance has discouraged people's motivation to improve productivity.

Sex. At the same time, the high welfare and security provided through transfer payments will make the poor poor.

And the weak produce a serious dependency mentality, all of which may weaken before.

The resulting efficiency affects the maintenance of future efficiency and ultimately undermines the efficiency principle.

This contradictory relationship between fairness and efficiency makes people total.

It is to be faced with the choice of whether to have more social justice and give up some effectiveness.

rate, or some social equity at the expense of efficiency? The dilemma of this choice is long.

period plagues people.

There is also a unity between fairness and efficiency. The specific performance is as follows: first, the market economy.

The more the economy develops, the more full free competition will be, and the more fair the market will be.

The fairer it is, the more conducive it is to improving the efficiency of the market's allocation of resources and to improving the efficiency of social production. Second, the higher the efficiency of the market's allocation of resources, the more conducive it is to promoting the great development of productive forces and producing more social resources.

will wealth to meet people's growing material and cultural needs, which is beneficial to the community.

It will be fair to solve the problem. The better the social equity problem is solved, the better it will be for the community.

It will be stable, and only in a stable and good social order can a market economy be obtained.

Healthy development. It can be seen that efficiency is the material basis for achieving social equity.

Fairness is the guarantee of efficiency, and the two complement each other and promote each other.

The development process of human society is not only a process of continuous improvement of social production efficiency, but also a process of continuous improvement of social equity.

The relationship of dialectical unity is the relationship of materialism and history.

Don't make it so complicated, modern economics has clearly concluded that fairness and efficiency are a pair of contradictions, there is 1, there can be 2, to pursue efficiency, fairness must be lost, fairness plus efficiency is always equal to 1, it depends on how you choose.
