Abstract

Abstract : Purpose: As China embarks upon a new era of high-quality development, it is increasingly important and imperative for China's economic development to live up to its real nature, which is to satisfy people's growing needs for a better life. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach: The paper attempts to discuss the implication of HQD and its related theoretical issues from the basic theory of economics, and literature review. It is necessary to return to Marx's "dual character of commodity" to check the theoretical foundation of this issue, based on the duality methodology, namely, the duality of the value of use and the value of exchange. Findings: Moving from HSG phase to HQD phase constitutes a major challenge and an arduous task that is extremely difficult both theoretically and practically. A series of new problems crop out as to the theoretical understanding and practical resolution. Fundamentally speaking, this new dynamic mechanism intrinsically requires a perfect integration of the instrumental rationality of market economy and the value-based rationality of economic development. Originality/value: This new momentum requires a perfect match between the instrumental rationality of market economy and the value-based rationality of economic development.
