The Global Economic Imbalances and Financial Crisis under the World Economic Fictionalization

Liu Junmin Li Lingyun(3)

Abstract: As the start of the economy fictionalizing, the monetary fictionalizing displays the generalization of the global fictitious asset. As the intensification of the monetary fictionalization, the distinction between the international currency and the non-international currency emerges throughout the world. It provides the opportunity for the international currency issuing countries to obtain large quantity of goods and resources, which brings and deepens the global economic imbalances. The fictionalization of the world economy leads to the global economic imbalances. Since the fictitious economy of the western developed countries is supported by the global real economy, they take advantage of the high growth areas all over the world, enlarge the gap between the wealthy and poor, and lead to the international financial market turbulence and the international currency system crisis. Under the circumstances, China should resolve the current multiple predicament of the macro-economy by internationalizing of RMB, developing and improving the international trade platform of the fictitious economy, and hedging the current account surplus by the capital account deficit.

Scientific Theory of Logical Empiricism and Its Influence

Rudolf Carnap, one of the top representative of Vienna School, discussed hierarchy structure model of scientific theory and instrumentalism distinguishing internal problems from external ones. His thought was the first to make clear the starting point and object of philosophy of science, to produce a critical framework for its historic evolution and make a basis for its development. However, its thinking pattern of duality logic still has much influence on our understanding of science from perspectives of history, practice, society, culture and politics.

The “Coal Crisis” in Shanghai from 1940 to 1945

Zhu Peixi(166)

Abstract: At the beginning of 1940, the coal supply in Shanghai went into short, due to the frequent block of its source and the profiteering activities. It finally turned into a huge “coal crisis”. Instead of controlling the market price of coal, the Shanghai Municipal Council cooperated with the Coal Guild to relieve the residents by offering them coals at fair prices. When the Pacific War broke out in 1941, the Japanese troops entered the Public Concession and took the council under their jurisdiction. In order to support the war, the Japanese launched a strict policy of controlled economy and carried out a coal rationing system. The rationing system led firms to lower profits, which caused a great internal conflict over the profits among the coal wholesalers and retailers. Due to the persisting existence of the black market, the Japanese failed to truly take the coal price under control. Until the end of the Sino-Japanese War in 1945, the coal price kept soaring.
