马克思与波斯纳的经济分析法运用比较

当代西方法律经济学中所运用的经济分析法与马克思主义法学甚至哲学中的经济分析法具有相同的名称甚至某些近似的表象。本文分别论述了这两种经济分析法的不同含义———一个是为了分析的便利而提出的学理假定 ,一个是对人类社会发展的客观规律的描述与预测 ;它们的出发点和着力点———一个是别具体事件和行为的微观阐释 ,一个是对人类社会整体的宏观解读 ;以及它们明示或暗示地确定的衡量标准———效率与进步 ;

Both Marxsim and Posner introduce economic analysis into their inquiry about law.This essay examines the connection and distinction between these two perspectives from threeppoints. First is their content and meaning. Marxism claims to be the objective description and prediction of the development of human society,while Posner just poses a theoretical assumption.Second is the whole framework. The former tries to grant a comprehensive interpretation of the human society ,but the latter only makes microanalysis of a particular affair and behavior.Last is the explicit or implied analysis standard-Marxism stresses progress while Posner concentrates on efficiency.
