Abstract: The reason of state is the rationality based on the national interest, the law of state operation, the theoretical collection of “what the state should be”, the collective consensus of the people of a country, and therefore the highest value among all values of the state. The reason of state is generally reflected in the constitution, laws and regulations, development strategies, development plans and government work reports formulated by the state, as well as in the practices of legislation, administration and justice, and in the constitution and program of the ruling party. If we proceed from the theory of overall national interest and reify the theory into a set of economic concepts with consistent logical connotations such as the subject of state, the reason of state, the theory of state, and the mode of modern production, we can reasonably explain China's national economic strategies, guidelines and policies since 1949, logically integrate the development stage of the socialist planned economy with that of the socialist market economy. The concept provides a coherent theoretical description of China's socialist practice and helps us explore the construction of a modern body of knowledge on the economic laws of socialism concerning the relations of production, exchange, distribution and consumption. Therefore, the construction of the academic system, discourse system, and the body of knowledge of the Chinese socialist political economy can lead to a logically coherent narrative system through the core concepts of the subject of state, the reason of state, the theory of state, and the mode of modern production.

Key words: the subject of state, the reason of state, the mode of modern production, the analytical paradigm of the Chinese political economy
