西方重商思潮与明清(1840年前)经贸研究——以托马斯·孟的晚期重商主义为例

Western Ideological Trend of Mercantilism and the Research of Economy and Foreign Trade during Ming-Qing Period——Taking Thomas,Mun' Late Mercantilism as the sample of analysis

借用西方经济思想考察明清时期的经贸增长不失为一种研究视角。在这方面,托马斯.孟的晚期重商主义理论具有重要的借鉴意义,我们觉得:明清帝国在客观上不自觉地成为了"贸易差额论"特殊的实践者,其"生产人口与技艺对于财富增加与经济增长重要性"的理论,在明清江南地区亦得以证实。

It is a sort of good perspective to research the rise of Economy and Foreign Trade during Ming- Qing Period by using western economy thinking. Considering this,it is very full that if we could use Late Mercantilism of Thomas, Mun as a reference. We feel it is objective,accidental that china during Ming - Qing Period practiced the Theory of the Balance of Trade accidentally. Moreover, the theory of Thomas, Mun that ＂population and craft of production are important for addition of wealth and increase of economy＂ is proved in the Chinese Jiang- nan Area in the Ming- Qin~ Period too.
