On the Emancipation and Development of Productive Forces by New Quality Productive Forces —From the Perspective of the Elements of Productive Forces

The global scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are advancing in depth, with new-quality productive forces emerging as a vital engine for the emancipation and development of productive forces. Instead of simply replacing traditional productive forces, they represent a profound selfrevolution in the evolution of productive forces. From the laborer dimension, they drive the shift of labor forms from repetitive labor to creative practice and expand the time for people’s free development. In terms of the means of labor, the intelligent tool system enables iterative upgrading of production tools, shifting the development of productive forces from efficiency improvement to paradigm innovation and breaking the law of diminishing marginal returns in traditional production. As for the objects of labor, disruptive technology clusters extend the scope of productive forces to the micro, macro and virtual fields. These changes have broken the space-time barriers in the allocation of traditional production factors and triggered the structural reshaping of production relations. This not only verifies the Marxist assertion that “science is a revolutionary force” but also embodies the profound historical foresight of the concept of new-quality productive forces proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping. Under the socialist market economic system, the development of new-quality productive forces further highlights institutional advantages, injecting sustained impetus into breaking development bottlenecks and achieving high-quality development.
