What do you think is the relationship between efficiency and equality?

I think that fairness and efficiency are compatible, the two can promote and unify each other, and the existence and development of one party is not at the expense of the other. Equitable distribution contributes to efficiency, and efficiency can further promote equity. Whether the distribution is fair or not is directly related to social stability and the full play of workers' enthusiasm, initiative and creativity, and has become a necessary condition for improving efficiency. And the increase in efficiency allows people to get more distribution with the same proportion.

The concept of efficiency and fairness in economics is in conflict, and the so-called balance is the meaning of "trade-off". As for how to balance, the solutions given by various countries and ** are different, but generally speaking, none are too extreme.

In income distribution, efficiency and fairness are a pair of contradictions, both opposing and unified. Efficiency is a material prerequisite for fairness. The gradual realization of social equity is possible only on the basis of developing productive forces, improving economic efficiency, and increasing social wealth.

Equity, without efficiency as a premise and foundation, can only lead to egalitarianism and widespread poverty. Equity is a guarantee of increased economic efficiency. Only through fair distribution can we safeguard the rights and interests of workers and stimulate their enthusiasm for developing production and improving economic efficiency.

It's absolute fairness, and absolute fairness and efficiency are indeed opposites. It should be said that absolute fairness is a pseudo-concept in the first place. For example, in the case of personal income tax, there is a view in economics that personal income tax is a kind of "punishment and reward laziness" behavior, such as a person who regards work as his life, he works hard and has a high income, of course, the tax paid is higher, and even after a critical point, most of the money he earns has to be handed over to the state as a tax, which prevents them from working harder, and those who are lazy at work, they don't love to work and love to enjoy, so their wages are relatively low and they pay less taxes. They don't even pay taxes, so most of the country's public services they enjoy are provided by those who work hard.

This kind of fairness is also unfair to hard workers.

Economics has almost forgotten that the trade-off between equality and efficiency should be a constant concern in the field of distribution systems. To put it simply, it is a dispute between the market economy and the welfare economy.

Promote each other, for example, in an enterprise with a generally low productivity, a small number of people do not do much more work than everyone, how much tired, but get a much higher salary than everyone, then it will inevitably affect the production efficiency of the enterprise, if the adjustment of wages makes the wage difference of everyone greatly narrow, it will inevitably improve everyone's work efficiency. This is to increase fairness and promote efficiency, and in the same way, it is also possible to find cases of increased efficiency and fairness, so I will not repeat them.

These are two concepts, right? I don't think there's a necessary connection. There are many factors that affect efficiency, both subjective and objective. It still depends on what kind of equality you mean.

The relationship between fairness and efficiency is entirely contradictory. They believe that the pursuit of efficiency will inevitably produce all kinds of inequality, fairness and efficiency are like fish and bear's paws, and they cannot have both, and if you want efficiency, you can't be fair, and if you want fairness, you will inevitably sacrifice efficiency.

1) Equality refers to the equal distribution of the goods of society to all members of the society, so that everyone has exactly the same goods. Efficiency refers to the rational and effective allocation of economic resources, which is the core content of the study of Pareto optimal problems. (2) In terms of resource allocation and income distribution, equality and efficiency are a dilemma.

If the emphasis is only on equality and ignores efficiency, economic growth will be hindered by egalitarianism and will lead to widespread poverty: if efficiency is emphasized and equality is neglected, social stability will be affected by unequal distribution. From the perspective of developing economic and social stability, it is advisable to choose a distribution that balances efficiency and equity.

According to the experience of various countries in the world, the principle of properly handling the relationship between the two is to achieve social equality on the basis of ensuring efficiency.

In social distribution, efficiency is the premise of fairness, and fairness is the guarantee of efficiency.

Efficiency and fairness are mutually reinforcing and indispensable for the development of the socialist market economy. Efficiency first, fairness in mind. First of all, efficiency first, that is, we must first optimize the allocation of resources and maximize benefits, which is a prerequisite for ensuring fairness, and there is no fairness without efficiency.

Second, fairness is the fundamental goal pursued by socialism. Fairness refers to the fact that, on the basis of giving priority to efficiency, attention is paid to the redistribution of state-owned resources in accordance with the principle of distribution according to work in the second distribution, and only focusing on efficiency and ignoring fairness will lead to the poorer and the richer the richer. Therefore, we need to pay more attention to fairness on the premise of emphasizing efficiency first.

In this way, we can achieve balanced, efficient and sustainable development.

1. From a macro perspective.

In terms of degree, efficiency is manifested in the effective allocation of resources in various production sectors of society; From a micro point of view, efficiency is manifested in the full play of the production and operation efficiency of each economic entity. In terms of the relationship with efficiency, fairness can be understood as equality, which mainly refers to equality of opportunity and equality of income.

2. Giving priority to efficiency and taking into account fairness are the principles for dealing with the relationship between fairness and efficiency in the initial stage of socialism. Allowing and encouraging some people to get rich first through honest work and legal business operations, acknowledging differences, rationally widening the gap in personal income, mobilizing the enthusiasm of all quarters, and promoting the development of production embodies the priority of efficiency. Efficiency priority will promote the development of productive forces, increase social wealth, and create material conditions for achieving social equity at a higher level and ultimately achieving common prosperity.

3. Emphasizing efficiency first, not ignoring social fairness. Efficiency and fairness have always been the common basic goals pursued by socialism. If the problem of fairness is not solved well, it will not only affect social stability, but also affect the improvement of efficiency to a certain extent.

In the socialist market economy, taking into account fairness is first of all to strive for fairness at the starting point, create equal competition conditions for individuals, and provide people with equal opportunities for competition; The second is to narrow the income gap through the redistribution of national income and the use of tax levers and the social security system, so that the living standards of all members of society can be improved, so as to achieve equality under the conditions of the level of productive forces in the initial stage of socialism.
