Abstract In the past, Chinese scholars focused on the discrepancies between Marx' s system theory and North' s and thus often viewed one against the other in their studies. Although the difference in their research subjects leads to difference in their focus, it is found that the two theories should be fused in epistemology and research foundations when studying socialist economic system. First, the epistemology should be fused because both Marx and North used such methods as system analysis, historical analysis and reality analysis in their study of the evolution of socialist economic system. Second, the research foundation should be fused because North' s system theory is founded upon proprietorship, state and ideology while Marx stands out among various theorists who try to depict a long-term changing process because his theoretical framework includes system, proprietorship, state and ideology. Marx emphasizes a macroscopic and long-term analysis of the basic social system and its economic development, whereas North analyses the system, the organization structure and the social efficiency of the existing system, supplementing to and improving the positive analysis framework of Marx' s theory of system change and making the theory closer to reality.
