汉武帝时期工商业制度变迁原因的分析

On Institutional Changes of Industry and Commerce in Emperor Wudi Period of Han Dynasty

汉武帝时期进行了盐铁专卖、均输、平准等一系列制度变革,其根本原因在于制度变革主体看到了进行制度变迁的潜在利润,并且预期收益会大于预期成本。而且作为西汉政府代言人的桑弘羊的个人偏好和其知识存量也是促进这次制度变迁的重要原因。

A series of institutional changes such as salt iron monopolization was put into operation in Emperor Wudi period of Han Dynasty. The fundamental reason lied in the latent profit to carry out the institutional changes, in other words, the predictive profit weighed much than the predictive cost. The preference of Sang Hongyang, mouthpiece of Western Han Dynasty, was one significant factor to promote the institutional changes.
