新加坡有着东西方文化兼收并蓄的社会文化特色,这是其经济体制模式选择的重要政治文化背景。在此背景之下,新加坡选择了一种与众不同的混合型市场经济体制模式。一方面,儒家文化促进了新加坡“家长式”政府的形成,对涉及国计民生的重要领域进行战略性的国家调控和干预。另一方面,西方民主思想的影响又使新加坡的宏观经济政策具备了自由主义的特色。因此,新加坡实行的是在政府指导下的、开放性的、自由经济与政府调控相结合的混合型市场经济体制。这正是新加坡在社会公平与和谐发展等方面取得举世瞩目成就的法宝。 Singapore has the social and cultural characteristics of East and West cultures eclectic, which is an important political and cultural background of the choice of economic system model. In this context, Singapore has chosen a distinctive hybrid market economy system model. On the one hand, Confucianism has promoted the formation of Singapore’s “patriarchal” government and conducted strategic state regulation and intervention in important areas involving national economy and the people’s livelihood. On the other hand, the influence of Western democratic thought in turn gave Singapore’s macroeconomic policy a liberal character. Therefore, Singapore implements a mixed market economic system under the guidance of the government, which is open and free economy is combined with government regulation and control. This is precisely the magic weapon Singapore has made in world-renowned achievements in social fairness and harmonious development.
