A Thought Of Knowledge-Based Economy And Sustainable Development

It is common hope of all the world people to realize sustainable development, but it is also a important question that we must solve how to achieve the sustainable development. Advent of knowledge-based economy no doubt brings mankind new hope that man will realize the sustainable development at last. Because knowledge-based economy is the sustained economy in essence, it provides strong power for the sustainable development and it is the fundamental way to realize the sustainable development.Knowledge-based economy is the economic formation based on the production, distribution and utilization of knowledge and information, it takes intellectual resources and invisible assets for primary elements, not dependent on such rare natural resources as land and oil. It integrates science with technology, which reflects scientific knowledge of man and nature. Knowledge-based economy utilizes natural resources rationally when it develops economy, in the meantime, knowledge economy exploits new resources to replace rare natural resources. So knowledge economy has some main features as follows: knowledge-based economy is the information economy; knowledge-based economy is the intellectual economy; knowledge-based economy is the intensive economy; knowledge-based economy is the innovative economy and knowledge-based economy is the sustained economy with harmonious relation between man and nature.Sustainable development, as a new idea and strategy of development, seeks to realize harmonious development among economy, society and nature, not only promote increase of economy, also protect such natural resources as atmosphere, water, land and forest which are necessary for mankind to live, not only meet contemporary people's demands, also pose no threat against descendants'survival.
