The qualitative leap of productivity forms new qualitative productivity
2024-06-19
These important statements indicate that new productive forces are formed based on technological revolution and industrial transformation, and are a revolutionary reconstruction on the basis of traditional productive forces. They are new and more advanced productive forces. We can scientifically understand the formation and development of new qualitative productive forces from the perspective of the qualitative transition of productive forces. The quality of productivity and its formation process refers to the state in which various factors of productivity are mutually adapted and correlated in material and technical attributes when forming a productivity system. It is a stable productivity system. So it can also be simply said that new quality productivity is a newly formed, higher-level, and stable productivity system. Marx's understanding of productive forces has never deviated from the realm of labor. From the perspective of the development laws of productive forces, Marx linked the three elements of productive forces (laborers, means of labor, and objects of labor) with the three major sources of productive forces (labor, natural forces, and scientific and technological forces) for research. That is, the labor force, as the source of productive forces, is humanized in the laborers, the natural forces are objectified in the means of labor and objects of labor, and scientific and technological forces penetrate into the three elements of productive forces. This reflects the formation of a new quality of productivity in three aspects: firstly, the combination of labor and natural forces forms the natural productivity of labor; The second is the combination of labor and labor to form the social productivity of labor; The third is the combination of labor force and scientific and technological strength to form the technological productivity of labor. The three aspects of the qualitative formation of productivity are deeply reflected in the development practices of various industrial transformations. Since the first industrial revolution, the emergence of mechanical technology, electrical technology, and computer information technology has achieved a revolutionary reshaping and deepening of the qualitative development of productivity. Firstly, whether it is the development of Jenny spinning machines in the handmade spinning industry in the UK, large capacity generators in Siemens, or today's microcomputers in the reengineering of enterprise production organization management, all reflect the historical process in which the application of new technologies in the embryonic stage of technology promoted the comprehensive transformation of some work collaboration methods within the enterprise. This not only creates and develops social labor productivity that cannot be developed by a single labor force, but also forms a productive force that combines social productivity with natural productivity in the process of combining means of production with socialized labor. Furthermore, with the gradual maturity of key technologies, a series of technology intensive industries closely related to these technologies have emerged. Through a comprehensive transformation of production methods, technology has further expanded the scale and efficiency of socialized large-scale production, expanded the scope of use of labor materials and objects, and ultimately, technological productivity, social productivity, and natural productivity work together to form a new quality of productivity. Both theory and practice have shown that whether it is the era of mechanization, electrification, or informatization and digitization, the process of qualitative transformation of labor productivity is the result of the comprehensive effect of the three types of labor productivity, namely natural productivity, social productivity, and technological productivity. New quality productivity is a common leap in all aspects of productivity. New quality productivity is a higher level of labor productivity, formed by the deep integration of original and disruptive technological innovation and industrial innovation in the labor process. Moreover, new quality productivity is a common leap in the three aspects of productivity, resulting in a higher level of complexity, wider scope of collaboration, and stronger support capabilities in its development. The development of new productive forces is centered around the technological productivity of labor. The development of new productive forces is not achieved through the single development of labor force and the single technological transformation of production materials. Its development includes a comprehensive leap in the quality of workers, labor materials, and labor objects, and in this process, the comprehensive development of worker skills and literacy is achieved. Furthermore, to form and develop new productive forces, workers, means of labor, and objects of labor not only provide support for the transformation and upgrading of individual industries, but also need to promote the development of the entire industry as a whole, forming a mutually supportive and comprehensive long-term development path for industries. The penetration and integration of technological innovation in the development of new quality productive forces are more prominent, which can lead the technological transformation of social division of labor and industrial development models at a higher level. In promoting the optimization combination of workers, labor materials, and labor objects, a new development model that breaks away from traditional economic growth methods and productive development paths is formed, and the quality of productive forces is pushed to new heights. The technological productivity of labor, through its superposition with natural productivity and social productivity, further deepens the technological transformation of the internal labor process in the industry vertically, forming higher quality productivity factors and higher levels of production efficiency, providing a material foundation for more intensive and sustainable development of productivity; Horizontally, new industries and formats have emerged, breaking down technological barriers in inter industry cooperation and promoting a revolutionary extension of the scope and depth of industrial division of labor and cooperation. The development of new productive forces is supported by the social productive forces of labor. The development of new productive forces is not only aimed at the division of labor and cooperation among material production departments, but also includes the deepening of division of labor and cooperation with non-material production departments such as knowledge production and technological production. The better integration of technological innovation activities with industrial activities requires innovative transformation of social division of labor and cooperation models to promote the qualitative leap of labor's social productivity. Therefore, a global transformation of the social division of labor and cooperation model is necessary to achieve mutual promotion and adaptation of various production factors, thereby forming a socialized large-scale production system that scientifically and efficiently utilizes natural and scientific and technological forces in the process of promoting innovative allocation of production factors. The overlapping effect of labor's social productivity, technological productivity, and natural productivity can achieve a revolutionary reshaping of the collaborative development model of industries, industrial chains, and industrial systems at all levels, forming a socialized large-scale production system that is conducive to efficient utilization, intensive utilization, circular utilization, and the development and utilization of natural resources. The development of new productive forces is based on the natural productivity of labor. The material conditions for the development of new productive forces not only come from natural resources, but also further expand to high-value commodities such as new energy and new materials. This has laid a more solid material foundation for the more scientific utilization of natural forces, forming a qualitative leap in advanced productive forces with the development of green productive forces as the core. The new productive forces themselves are green productive forces, which require the rational utilization of natural resources. Based on the diffusion of green general technologies, the application of green professional technologies, and the green transformation of socialized large-scale production models, industrialization of the two major links of "transforming and utilizing natural forces" and "regenerating and restoring natural forces" can be achieved, thereby forming a new economic form with green, low-carbon, and circular core characteristics. This has laid a solid industrial foundation for promoting green, low-carbon, and more sustainable development of the entire society and industry. The natural productivity of labor, technological productivity, and social productivity are combined to form a green industry, industrial chain, and industrial system, including new energy and new materials, through revolutionary breakthroughs in technology, laying a solid industrial foundation for the green development of the whole society; By building a new multi-level collaborative development model between the green industry system and other industries, industrial chains, and industrial systems, we can promote the transformation and upgrading of the entire industry towards green development, and form a green and low-carbon social circular production system. Based on the high-end, green, and integrated development of industries, promoting the development of new quality productive forces and the formation of new quality productive forces is not only a revolutionary process of improving factor quality, but also a process of systematizing and improving factor resource allocation, and a process of green and intensive use of factors. Promoting the high-end, green, and integrated development of industries is the necessary path for the development of new quality productive forces. Based on the development of high-end industries, achieve the upgrading and transformation of productivity. Technological innovation, especially original and disruptive technological innovation, is a necessary condition for promoting industrial high-end development. In practice, it is necessary to combine different technological attributes and industrial characteristics to form a development path of productivity upgrading and transformation in the process of gradually promoting industrial high-end development. One is to take original and disruptive digital universal technologies as the main driving force, and promote the qualitative leap of productivity to a higher level through the extensive empowerment of industries, achieving higher quality development of productivity through the promotion of industrial renewal and reconstruction. Secondly, guided by original, disruptive, and forward-looking future technologies, we will explore the foundational role of future technological innovation in the process of actively planning and developing future industries for a higher starting point of productivity development. This will greatly enrich the types and forms of labor materials and objects, broaden production boundaries, and create production space. Based on the green development of industries, achieve sustainable development of productivity. New quality productivity itself is green productivity. By strengthening the scientific understanding of the utilization and transformation of natural forces, new productive forces can achieve a qualitative leap in productivity that complements the green development of industries. On the one hand, the scientific utilization of green technology in the direct production process, through traditional technological transformation, equipment upgrading, and material optimization, has promoted the green development of industries, including the cleanliness of the production process, the recycling of resource utilization, the intensification of factor use, the low-carbon consumption of energy, and the environmental protection of product supply; On the other hand, by driving the development of green, low-carbon, and environmental industries, it helps to achieve the greening of other industry development models and the intensification of collaborative methods. In the innovative allocation process of various production factors around the common interest of "green development", the "united producers will reasonably regulate their material exchange with nature", thus forming a new quality of productivity that is more environmentally friendly, sustainable, and more scalable in the whole society. Based on industrial integration development, enhance the level of productivity development. The development of new productive forces cannot be achieved solely through breakthroughs and innovations in individual industries, but requires the integration and development of industries including traditional industries, strategic emerging industries, and future industries. On the one hand, it is necessary to consolidate and strengthen the foundation of modern industrial systems in the integration and development of industries, scientific and technological systems, and social cooperation systems, and improve the level of development of new quality productive forces; On the other hand, in further promoting the integration and development of traditional industries with strategic emerging industries and future industries, we need to enhance the quality of new productive forces. Therefore, we must focus on the overall situation of industrial development, realize the integrated development of traditional industries, strategic emerging industries and future industries in the whole life cycle, and prepare to empower the development of new quality productivity in the process of building a modern industrial system with integrity, progressiveness and security.
