论亚当·斯密对法律的经济分析

On Adam Smith's Economic Analysis of Law

用经济学的概念及方法来研究法律问题,被称之为"法律的经济分析"。在经济学说史上,亚当.斯密第一个把经济学分析扩展到法律制度,成为当代法经济学的真正鼻祖。在《国富论》中,斯密通过对学徒法、谷物法等一系列法律的经济分析,揭示了法律制度对经济系统运行的影响。

＂Economic analysis of law＂ means to study law problems by using concepts and methods of economics. Adam Smith is the first man to do this in the history of economics. In The Wealth of Nations, through analyzing series of laws such as the Law of Apprentice, and the Law of Grain, Adam Smith discovers the influence of law on the operation of economic system.
