Abstract: With the Fourth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth CPC Central Committee as a benchmark, the construction of China in terms of the socialist rule by law has entered a new historical stage. Only by implementing the strategy of ruling the country by law, can the modernization of governing capability and ruling system be achieved. The economic law is a law to deal with crisis, to save the markets, and to remedy the civil law. In the era with economic construction as the central task, the economic law can play an irreplaceable role either in enhancing the governing capability or in promoting comprehensively the construction of a socialist country ruled by law. Therefore, the economic law is an inevitable choice by history under the conditions of market economy. The economic law in the future will assume the task of promoting the legalization of macro-control, improving the social security system, focusing on the legal construction of the virtual economy, and regulating the state intervention in the economic activities.
