As the first and the second generations of leading center of CPC, Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping had a helpful research into it, leaving us rich theory achievements; in particular Deng Xiaoping who was subject to the imprint of times and the requirements from the socialist modernization inherited and developed Mao Zedong thought taking advantage of capitalism.A serious comparison of and research into their similarities and differences has an ail-importantly theoretical and practical sense so as to set up, develop and perfect the system of social market economy. The article falls into four parts:The first parts characterized with the similar points and inheritance where three levels of theory sources, cognition bases and thought foundations are used to express the one continuous thought of their utilizing capitalism.The second part dealing with different points and transcendency, that elaborate the great varieties in the utilization degree owing to their different backgrounds and different thinking modes; but in any way, Mao Zedong left over a rich theory wealth for his cognition and utilization of capitalism while Den Xiaoping made a historic contribution for his inheritance and development of Mao Zedong thought.The third part concerns with the valuation of Mao and Deng's utilization of capitalism. The similarities and differences make us understand that the thought based on their insistence on the world outlook of dialectical-materialism and methodology enriches and develops Marxism, conforms to the development of the Chinese economy and the wishes of the people for developing productivity and makes a creative contribution to the socialist construction.
