转轨的意义:对近代国家社会转型难题的重新求证

The Implications of Transformation:A Reconsideration on the Transformation Puzzle of Modern Countries

本文是将转轨置于经济史背景中的一种尝试性研究。其基本观点是:从经济史的规律来看,转轨国家与近代落后国家的一个共同特征是在发展过程中缺失了某个重要阶段。这种缺失正是落后与变革的根源。为了进行求证,本文将转轨国家界定为【非历史—人为形态】的制度形态,试图将其还原到经济史的时空背景中,与发达国家【历史—自然形态】的制度形态演进过程进行比较研究,从中发掘转轨可以贡献于经济学的一般意义。

The paper is trying to research the transition from the point of view of economic history. The basic point is that the transition countries have a commonness with the modem underdeveloped countries. Historically, both of them have missed a certain important economics stage in the course of development. It is the missed stage that is exactly the origin of getting behind and the reason for them to search for improving. From the point of view of the economic history, the paper puts back the transition countries as to the earlier economic condition on the assumption of defining them as an institution of“non-historical-artificial form”. On a eomparatiye study with the evolutionary course of developed countries, which have an institution of “history-natural form”, the paper comes to a conclusion of economics significance of transition generally.
