政府放任与政府干预——密尔有限政府干预思想解读

Government non-intervention and Government intervention——Analysis on Mill's intervention thought of limited government

约翰.密尔是19世纪英国著名的政治思想家,他一方面以自由主义原则为基础,认为一般情况下社会事务应由个人自愿去做,政府应奉行放任政策;另一方面,他又根据功利主义原则,赞成政府为增加人民福利对经济事务和个人活动进行适度干预。以此为基础,密尔提出了一套完整的有限政府干预思想,为形成新自由主义政府干预理论作出了重要贡献。
