achieve greater , faster , better and more economical results

Large quantity, fast speed, good quality and low cost. It was first proposed by Zhou Enlai and later became the national standard by Mao Zedong. In fact, although the original intention of this formulation is good, in the process of concrete implementation, people often only pay attention to more and faster, but ignore the good and saving.

First proposed

Comrade Zhou Enlai first put forward the idea of "more, faster, better and more economical". Shortly after it was put forward, Comrade Zhou Enlai said that these four words were not scientific enough and did not include the meaning of having a plan and according to proportion. After this policy was put forward in 1956, the problem of rashness and rashness appeared in economic construction. In the process of criticizing the anti rash advance in 1956, at the meeting of the CPC Central Committee in Chengdu in March 1958, Comrade Mao Zedong put forward the basic idea of the general line of "building socialism more quickly, better and more economically", which was formally adopted at the second meeting of the Eighth National Congress of the CPC. Since then, "more fast, better economy" has become an important part of the general line.

Divorced from reality

The general line of "more, faster, better and more economical" was divorced from the actual production at that time, resulting in eagerness for success and reckless advance. When formulating the general line of socialism, the word "fast" became the core link of the general line, which was actually divorced from the economic line established by the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The "great leap forward", "people's communization" and the general line were called "three red flags", So that the socialist construction in the early period of new China suffered a serious setback. Since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the new generation of central collective leadership with Hu Jintao as the core has made a comprehensive analysis of China's national conditions, summed up the history and reality of development, put forward a scientific outlook on Development Based on China's experience, emphasized the realization of sound and rapid development of the national economy, and stressed the principle of "good" as the first step forward steadily. This is to emphasize the speed of development and pay more attention to the quality of development.
