桑弘羊商业思想探析

On the Commercial Thought of Sang Hongyang

桑弘羊的商业思想主要体现在他的重商思想和商业管理思想两个方面。他认为商业是致富的本源,农工商应全面发展,“本末并重”;同时,由于各地经济发展不平衡,自由放任也会带来许多弊端,主张实行国家调控、发展官营商业来解决。但其商业思想也具有一定的历史局限性。

Hongyang's commercial thought mainly manifested in these two aspects: emphasizing business and commercial management.He proposed that commerce should be the source of wealth;agriculture,industry and commerce should be comprehensively developed;agriculture and commerce should be essential.At the same time,because economical development of each region is not balanced and the laissez-faire policy can bring many malpractices,so he advocated implementing the policy of national regulation and developing state-operated business.Although his commercial thought had the certain historical limitation,it has provided the model function for the later generations.
