Yan'an Peroid is one of great history time in which the Communist Party of China combined Marxism theory with the Chinese practice, and has got the most glorious success and abundant achievements. The neo-democratic economic theory is also accomplished in this period, which is the first constructive economic theory brought forward by the Mao Zedong, and based on the combination of the Marxism economic theory and the Chinese essential conditions of the semi-colonial& semi-feudal society. It inherits and develops the Marxism-Leninism's Theory on non-capitalist social developmental road in the nations lagging behind, and find a new road for the semi-colonial& semi-feudal China to make full use of the capitalism's advancements to change the lagging productivity and avoid its frustration.The neo-democratic economic theory grew up from a bud, developed steeply and matured relatively, at last shaped in a whole theory system in Yan'an Period. This theory made theoretical innovation for the Marxism-Leninism's economic theory, and guiding the base area's economic practice successfully. It reflects the CPC's great progress in the sinofication of Marxism.This dissertation is set in the Yan'an Peroid, it will make a systematic study in the neo-democratic economy from theory aspect and practice aspect, and to reflect its history fate. It is made up of four parts.In the first chapter, the author analyses the special background and the history mission of neo-democratic economy from the historical dimension. In Chinese modern times, the semi-colonial& semi-feudal socio-economic formation is the centralized reflection of Chinese ethnic and class contradictions. Proletariat and its party, the CPC, as the representative of advanced productive forces take up the heavy responsibility to change the backwardness in China. In the base of analyzing and knowing Chinese national circumstances, the neo-democratic economy theory gives birth. Accompany with the rural base setting up, the CPC started to put the neo-democratic economy into practice, the theory is formed preliminarily. That built important base for the economic theory in Yan'an Period. Facing with very complex domestic and international situations, the CPC bring up its constructive scheme for democratic country, the neo-democratic economy theory as one of important part is also illuminated wholly and developed into a high peak. At the same time the base is become more and more consolidated that built actual base for the economic practice.The second chapter focuses on the practice of the neo-democratic economy. It observes and studies the economic construct and its effect based on the Shanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region which is the model of the neo-democratic republic. At the initial stage of the War of Auti-Japanese, the CCP carried out economic reconstruction independently in the special background of Kuomintang-Communist cooperation. It laid down policies to reduce rent and interest rate which accorded with anti-Japanese national united front. This policy weaken the feudalism exploit, and to emancipated the productive forces, to mobilized broad societal forces. After victory in the War of Auti-Japanese, the Chinese communist party adjusted the land policy, it confiscated the land of the landlords and distributed it among the peasants. This policy wiped out feudalism land system, and set up the principle of "Land to the tiller". Accompany with the base area stabling and wilding, the neo-democratic economic formation also grew up quickly. The public-operated economic pushed by large-scale production campaign grown up from weak to powerful and from single to diversity. It played an important role and become leading force in neo-democratic economy. Under the national united front and the principle of people hold with government helping, the cooperative economy get new development. It not only had diversified forms, but also spread all over industries, and also became important force of neo-democratic economy. It was paid more attention to individual and private economies in this time. A series of encouragement policies was set up and enforced faithfully, and kept relative stability and consistency during Yan' an Period. It pushed the base area's economy forward greatly. In the wicked circumstances, the CPC led the neo-democratic economic practice successfully, and built solid base for the theory. The neo-democratic economy standing in vivid contrast against the bureaucrat capital in the Kuomintang-controlled area. This affected the society progress of China deeply, and was one of determining reasons that the CPC attained the victory.The third chapter puts focuses on the neo-democratic economic theory and its theoretical innovations. In Yan'an Peroid, the CPC proceed from actual conditions of base area and made outstanding theoretical innovations. The neo-democratic economic thought achieves a qualitative leap from struggles tactics to economic policy and became a whole system, which came from practice but higher than it. This theory system included three parts:the theory of the semi-colonial& semi-feudal society economic formation, the theory of neo-democratic economic formation and the transitional theory from the neo-democratic economy to socialist economy. It not only clarified basis of national conditions, pointed out the nature, the structure and the operating mode of the neo-democratic economic formation, but also pointed out the its direction. This theory sprung from and developed Marxism-Leninism's theory on non-capitalist social developmental road in the nations lagging behind, and has made a breakthrough for the Marxism social economic formation theory. It has found a new road for the semi-colonial& semi-feudal China to make full use of the capitalism's advancement to change the lower productivity and avoid the frustration.The last chapter firstly analyzes and reviews the historical progress of the neo-democratic economic theory turning and the practice ending after Yan'an Peroid, and combine with the relation of the neo-democratic economic theory and the primary stage of socialism economic theory, then concludes the enlightenment and significance. The dissertation figures out that there are intimate connection between the turning of the theory and the ending of Yan'an Peroid. The neo-democratic economic theory was abandoned because of kinds of reasons, which caused the practice ended at last. This resulted in the aim that develop productive force and achieve modernization hasn't come true in the neo-democratic economic society. The primary stage of socialism economic theory recognized the national condition, It inherited and made innovations to the neo-democratic economic theory, and prevail against it in the new background. Through reflecting the fate of the neo-democratic economy, we can get experience and lessons from it for the economic construction in the future.
