经济法起源与发展新探

A New Investigation into the Origin and Development of the Economic Law

学界一般认为经济法源于垄断资本主义条件下国家对经济运行的调节或干预。这一认识值得商榷。通过对西方有关国家经济发展史的考察,可以发现事实上各主要资本主义国家在其经济发展过程中均采用了各种积极的产业政策和贸易政策。由此可以认为经济法源于自由资本主义阶段,国家干预经济构成了经济法的一大源头。而在20世纪晚期第三部门兴起、"第三之手"作用于经济领域的过程中又产生了经济法的另一源头。二者均反映了法的社会化趋势。本文亦对我国经济法发展、特别是其中的第三部门问题做了简要探讨。

The law scholars generally believe that the economic law is the law of regulating or intervening economic activity by the government,which emerged under the conditions of monopoly capitalism.This recognition is questionable.Through investigation of their economic development history of the western countries,we can conclude that in fact all the major capitalist countries in the process of the economic development they adopted a variety of active industrial policies and trade policies.It can be considered that the economic law originated in the free capitalist stage and the state＇s intervention in the economy constitutes a major source of the economic law.In the late 20th century,the rise of the third sector,＂the third hand＂worked in the economic field generating another source of the economic law.Both laws reflect the social trends.The issues of the development of China＇s economic law and particularly the third sector are also discussed in this paper.
