“初次分配改革是缩小收入差距的关键。”吴敬琏说，分配改革不能止于抑富扶贫的零散措施，而应是一整套完善经济和社会的系统努力，它至少包括：第一，改变粗放经济发展模式，转而依靠知识、技术创新和劳动效率。这样，劳动者的收入水涨船高，促进消费，扩大内需，形成良性循环。第二，依法行政，取缔不合理的行政许可和行政审批，铲除寻租的制度基础。第三，下决心破除特权既得利益和传统意识形态的阻碍，继续推进国有经济的改革，把被少数人和少数企业占用的社会资源从垄断部门的行政垄断下出来，通过企业之间的平等竞争实现有效配置，为社会大众创造财富。第四，完善财税，为社会低成本地提供公共物品和实现公共服务的均等化。第五，建立能够持续运转的社会保障体系，为全民提供基本的医疗、养老等保障。
