试论汉代诸子的经济自由思想

On Economic Liberalism of the Thinkers in the Han Dynasty

汉代诸子在中国经济思想史上占有重要地位。他们主要从人性论、分工论、重商论、经济自由主张等方面论述了经济自由思想。同以亚当.斯密为代表的西方经济自由思想相比,汉代诸子的经济自由思想不仅适合中国国情,而且更能从深层次上展现传统文化精髓。如果很好地消化与吸收,必会对今天的市场经济建设诸方面提供有益的帮助。

The thinkers in Han Dynasty mainly discuss economic liberalism from perspectives of humanity, free trade, division of labour, market mechanism, and so on. With regard to western economic liberalism represented by Adam Smith, their ideas not only suit national conditions, but also embody Chinese traditional culture. If their ideas are digested including property reforming, division of labour, the they surely contribute to market-oriented economy change of government duty.
