金融危机视域下的美国消费型社会困境及其对中国的启示

The Dilemma of U.S. Consumer Society and its Enlightenment to China:Context of the Financial Crisis

金融危机背景下,美国经济学界发起了一系列深刻的辩论,其中对于当前的经济状态与市场原教旨主义的反思和批判成为这次辩论的重要内容。很多学者认为,美国的消费型社会已经遭到了市场原教旨主义政策的侵蚀,这次金融危机的根源需要上溯到里根政府的自由化政策,呼吁奥巴马政府效仿罗斯福新政对美国社会进行重塑。中国当前正在进行内向型发展模式的转型,美国的经验与政策大辩论可以为我们提供一些有益的启示。

A profound debate occurred among US economists in the context of financial crisis, of which the essential part was the rethinks and critiques on the economic status and market fundamentalism. Many scholars argue that the US consumer society has been eroded by the market fundamentalism and the cause of financial crisis can date back to the liberalization policy since Reagan administration. They appeal to follow the New Deal to re-construct the US society. As China is under＇ the transformation to a new pattern, the US experience and debate can provide some helpful enlightenment.
