Since the reform and opening-up,Marxist political economy has experienced the shift from sheer domination to diminished discourse. Fundamental causes for the descending discourse lie in the contradiction between the advancement of market economy practice and lagged researches on political economy theory, biased stress on keeping in line with international convention,and mistaken decision making by related departments. It is accordingly suggested that we are in pressing need of “building up a theoretical system of socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics” as a basis to rebuild Marxism political economy discourse.
