于祖尧教授是我国第一位提出并论证“社会主义市场经济”的经济学家。他提出的价值规律是商品生产固有的规律,也是调节社会劳动按比例分配的规律等论断,在我国价值规律研究中具有开拓性的贡献。在建立社会主义市场经济体制的改革方向明确后,他着眼于探讨改革引发的社会群体的分化及其对改革的影响等关系改革前途的重大问题,提出了一系列在学界产生广泛影响的重要观点。其论作中凸显出来的关注民生的价值取向、不和时流的学术风格、尊重历史和实践经验的治学方法,都展现了新时期马克思主义经济学家的突出特点。 Professor Yu Zuyao was the first economist in China to put forward and demonstrate “the socialist market economy.” The law of value which he put forward is the inherent law of commodity production as well as the theory of regulating the proportionate distribution of social labor. It has made pioneering contributions in the study of the law of value in our country. After establishing the reform direction of the socialist market economic system, he focused on the major issues concerning the future of the reform, such as the social group differentiation caused by the reform and its impact on the reform, and put forward a series of important views that have a broad impact in the academic field . The prominent values ​​of paying attention to the livelihood of the people, the current academic style, and the methods of treating students with respect for history and practical experience are all highlighted in their dissertations, all of which show the prominent features of the Marxist economists in the new era.
