Economic law: it is the general name of legal norms that adjust the economic relations that occur in the process of national coordinated economic operation. Is an independent and important legal department.

In China, economic law is a legal department that comprehensively, systematically, comprehensively and comprehensively adjusts the relations of socialist market economy. At this stage, we mainly adjust the economic management relations and a certain range of commercial coordination relations in the process of social production and reproduction, with various organizations as the basic subjects.

Economic law is "social standard law", "interest and resource distribution law" and "economic development law". These three essential attributes construct the essence of economic law from three aspects. What needs to be emphasized here is that we cannot mechanically treat the three essential attributes separately, or even think that the contradiction between them is irreconcilable.

Or subjectively think that the attribute of one aspect can be higher than or dominate the other two aspects, and even can replace the other two aspects. For example, economic law is the law of economic development to deny the social standard of economic law, and to question the normal realization of its benefit distribution function with the social standard value orientation of economic law, and so on.

Economic law is social law. Different from the theory of economic public law, although this theory is based on the division of public law and private law, it believes that there is an independent third field besides public law and private law, that is, social law. Many scholars in China agree with this theory.
