西方经济学教学如何走出“李嘉图恶习”

"李嘉图恶习"是指在不现实的、甚至是错误的假定下进行抽象的思考,建立抽象的模型,其非常重视过程推导。这一"恶习"在西方经济学教学中普遍存在而且还有强化之势。本文探讨了"李嘉图恶习"的教学实践运用以及导向下的教学后果,认为西方经济学教学必须走出"李嘉图恶习",最后给出了几点建议。

＂Ricardian vice＂ means abstract thoughts and models based on the unrealistic or even false assumptions, which lays great emphasis on the process derivation. This ＂vice＂ exists universally in the teaching of Western Economics. Based on an analysis of the consequences of the ＂Ricardian vice＂ in the teaching practice, this paper argues that the teaching of Western Economics must avoid the ＂Ricardian vice＂. Suggestions for the improvement of teaching are also offered in the paper.
