西汉经济政策的大辩论——从《盐铁论》看中国古代两种不同的经济思想

A Big Debate on the Economy Policies of Xihan Dynasty

汉武帝为巩固皇权,解决财政危机实行了盐铁官营、均输平准等一系列经济措施。昭帝时期,中央召开了盐铁会议,以桑弘羊为代表的维持派与以贤良文学为代表的反对派展开了论辩。其两者实质是春秋战国以来“放任”与“干预”两种不同的经济管理模式争论的继续,并对中国古代经济政策留下了深远影响。

In order to consolidate the imperial power and control the financial crisis, Emperor Hanwudi adopted a series of economic measures such as the authority’s operating salt and iron, and fixing carriage and stabilizing prices. During Emperor Zhaodi, the central government held a conference on salt and iron. A debate broke out between the maintenance faction with SANG Hong-yang on behalf of them and the opposition faction with Xianliangwenxue on behalf of them. This debate was essentially a continuation of the debate between “interference” and “non-interference” since Spring-Autumn and Warring States, and gave deep impact on ancient China’s economy policy.
