Development Paradigm for Ecological Civilization and Reform of Economics Theory Towards Ecological Development

In the context of integrating the ecological development into all aspects and the whole process of economic, political, cultural and social development, and striving to create a new era of China’s socialist ecological civilization, one important aspect is that we need to construct a paradigm transformation theory for the development of ecological civilization. In establishing theories for the paradigm of ecological development, what we need most is an economic theory.However, the problem is that traditional and conventional economics, including political economics, cannot provide theoretical and methodological support for the current ecological development in China or even the world. Based on the concept, cognition and China’s practice of ecological civilization, the author reflects on the economic theory and its development direction in future.
