再评估作为发展基础的自然资本:对当代资本主义的一种批判

Reevaluation of Natural Capital as Developmental Basis:A Criticism of Contemporary Capitalism

资源环境问题已然成为当今世界所面临的最为严峻的考验之一。主流经济增长理论所强调的技术进步似乎未能有效解决这些问题,制度创新也没有显著控制资源与环境形势的持续恶化。这与经济增长理论长期以来忽略自然资本的作用以及经济发展实践中未能对自然资源加以合理开发利用和保护密切相关。为了人类共同的未来,本着维护自然资本,维持经济社会可持续发展的资源环境基础,应当从增长理念、经济核算制度和资源环境管理制度方面谋求人类社会经济领域的一系列深刻变革。

Resource and environmental issues are one of the severe trials the world has to face recently. Theory of mainstream economic growth which emphasizes technological improvement can not tackle the problem efficiently; neither can systematic innovation control the continual deterioration of resource and environment. This is closely related to the neglect of the function of natural capital on the part of theory of economic growth and the failure to explore and protect natural resource over time. Considering the future of man, in order to maintain natural capital, sustain the resource and environment basis of the development of social economy, reforms in social economic field should be carried out into ideas of growth, economic accounting and resource and environment management system.
