While hosting a learning conference on Marxist political economics for the Political Bureau,General Secretary Xi Jin-ping emphasized “Marxist Political Economy is a main part of Marxism and our compulsory lesson for adhering to and developing Marxism”,intrinsically highlighting the predominance and guidance of Marxist political economics in contemporary China.Recent years witnessed a popular idea that the so-called mainstream economics in contemporary China refers to western economics for its “universality” in an attempt to replace Marxist political economics with western economics in terms of predominance.This involves major issues like whether to uphold the predominant status of Marxist political economics and whether to adhere to the guidance of the political economics with Chinese characteristics. Meanwhile,it is also concerned with the direction and prospect of the disciplinary construction of Chinese economics.Consequently,economics circles have to give deliberate reply rather than regard it as unimportant.
