Fate of Patriarchal System and Modem Capitalism in China——Brief Discussion on Chinese"Patrimonialism"Illustrated by Max Weber

现代资本主义在中国的命运问题,一直是诸多中外学者关注的热点问题。关于现代资本主义在中国始终萌而不发、未能兴起的原因。马克斯·韦伯曾经作过全面的讨论。无论是中国传统的宗教、文化,还是现代国家构建的问题,都是他探寻这一命题的角度。论文试图在制度层面,从中国式的"家产制"出发,结合现代资本主义的内涵,探讨"家产制"的传统型统治对中国构建现代国家的基本影响,进而揭示家产制对中国现代资本主义发展所产生的巨大阻力。

The fate of modem capitalism in China has long been a hot issue that concerns Chinese and foreign scholars. As to the reasons why modem capitalism emerged in China hut did not develop and rise, Max Weber made a comprehensive discussion on it. Traditional Chinese religion, culture, or the construction problems of moder countries, are all the angles of his seeking this proposition. In the system level, the article starts with Chinese ＂patrimonialism＂, and in comhinaiton with the connocation of modem Capitalism, it discusses the effect of such traditional ruling as ＂patrimonialism＂ on China＇ s construction of a modem country, so that it reveals the huge resistance of patrimonialism on the development of modem Chinese capitalism.
