Comparison of traditional economy

Network economy is a derivative form of traditional economy, which has a great influence on traditional economic theory and even changed many theories in traditional economics. For example, the theory of "diminishing marginal benefit" in traditional economics has changed due to the development of network economy.

Network economy has obvious scale effect. The larger the scale, the more users, the more standardized the products, the more business opportunities and the greater the income. It can be seen that the benefits of the network economy are directly proportional to its scale.

Due to the development of network technology, producers and consumers can directly interact economically, and network operators can easily provide thoughtful "personalized" services to consumers, which not only reduces their transaction costs, but also makes the network economy a direct economy and a "personalized" economy.

The so-called traditional economics refers to the economics represented by the textbook of Soviet political economy, especially its "socialist part", which adapts to the traditional planned economic system, and the theoretical expression of this system refers to the laissez-faire economic theory of the neoclassical school represented by Marshall. The core of this theory is the theory of "automatic equilibrium".

If the political economy of this period is called the traditional economics of our country, then its capitalist part is obviously critical and revolutionary, and it is critical economics.

When dealing with the relationship between human beings and the environment, the traditional economic model refers to the one-way linear opening process of "resources-products-pollution discharge". With the development of industry, the expansion of production scale, the increase of population and the weakening of self-purification ability of the environment, environmental problems are becoming more and more serious and resources are in short supply. The mode of "end-of-production-process treatment" began to pay attention to environmental problems, emphasizing taking measures to control pollution at the end of the production process. However, it is unscientific to adopt the method of "pollution first and then treatment". The pollution treatment technology is difficult and costly, and it is difficult to curb the trend of ecological deterioration and achieve "three wins" in economic, social and ecological benefits.

Traditional economic system is a term of economics, also known as natural economy. Compared with commodity economy, it mostly appears in rural areas and agricultural societies, and mainly solves three basic economic problems according to social customs and practices. The other three economic systems are planned economy, market economy and mixed economy.

In addition, there is a thorny issue in the network economy, which is product pricing. Because the pricing principle of information products cannot adopt marginal cost pricing method, it makes the pricing of information products a difficult problem. Because the equilibrium point of market supply and demand is difficult to determine, how to price a product scientifically has become an important issue for it to go to the market. This problem is particularly prominent in China's software product market. The pricing of software products lacks scientific methods. Faced with the problem of "piracy", many software manufacturers began to direct competitive games of "competitive price reduction", some of which were even very blind, but there was really no better way.

In the development of network economy, there will be more new and unpredictable problems, which need to be solved on the basis of improving people's own quality. The emergence of this phenomenon requires network operators to play a smarter role in the development of network economy.

Network economy is a direct economy. Compared with the traditional industrial circuitous economy, direct economy is concentrated in dissolving intermediate procedures, which makes producers and consumers interact directly. The essence of the internet is to make the distance between time and space zero, that is, to reduce the friction coefficient in economic activities, which is close to zero.

Network economy is a kind of "personalized" economy, which is embodied in "personalized" service. The reason why the network economy can realize "personalized" service is because information can be copied and combined infinitely, and also because network technology makes it easy to copy and combine information.

With the gradual deepening of the impact of the development of information technology and network technology on the economy, information technology and network will affect a department and a region as a whole, which is the impact of the development of network technology on the economy, and this impact is a necessary process from low to high.

The Internet will lead to a new economy with the network as the link, which will greatly reduce the "transaction cost" and then make profound changes in the price structure. The scarce resource of traditional economy is material, and the scarce resource of new economy is time, so only faster innovation can create new value.

The new economy is also the global economy, which means that the economies of all countries and regions in the world are interdependent and the technologies are interrelated, and gradually form an organic whole on a global scale, thus realizing economic and technological integration. The fundamental reason for the formation and development of the new economy is the progress and wide application of information technology, especially the Internet. With the emergence of new economy, the traditional division of labor has been changed, and knowledge has become a strategic resource. It not only has the momentum of rapid growth and increasing income, but also changes the traditional laws of increasing capital and decreasing income, which not only increases the accumulation of knowledge, but also increases the ability of other capital elements.

The new economy is an emerging economy with high growth rate, low inflation rate and low unemployment rate based on the development and application of knowledge, supported by digitalization, configured by informationization and operated by networking. Since the essence of the new economy is based on the development and application of knowledge, there is no contradiction between the knowledge economy and the new economy, and their essence is to emphasize the development and application of knowledge. Specifically, the new economy can be analyzed from different aspects. For example, the digital economy emphasizes that all technical systems must be carried out on the basis of digitalization; One of the key elements of information economy is information, which is used to develop productive forces. Network economy emphasizes its operation mode. Therefore, to grasp the operation of the new economy, we should not only grasp the characteristics of a certain aspect of the new economy, but also comprehensively grasp the basic characteristics of the new economy and its differences from the traditional economy, so as to grasp the operation law of the new economy.
