春秋末期知识分子创业环境初探

The Exploration on the Entrepreneurial Environment of Intellectual in the Final of Chunqiu

以社会环境协同演化可能蕴育创业机会为基本假设,对范蠡和子贡所处的环境进行研究,结果表明:①生产技术和税收制度协同演化最终导致市场范围的扩大;②重要礼器专用性程度的降低和贵族世袭制的崩溃为知识分子创业提供了机会;③法律演进中的路径依赖为知识分子从事商业活动提供了合法性。范蠡和子贡曾任政府高官的职业经历有助于他们以更低的成本得到有价值的商业信息。

Based on the basic assumption that Social environment co-evolution may cultivates en- trepreneurial opportunities, this paper studies the environment in which Fanli and Zigong lived and make the following conclusions： ① the co-evolution of technology and tax system eventually lead to the expansion the market;②reduced specificity of important sacrificial vessel and collapse of the he- reditary system of aristocrat provide opportunities for intellectuals entrepreneurship; ③ the path de- pendence of law evolution provides legitimacy for intellectuals to engage in commercial activities. Fur- thermore, the professional experience of Fanli and Zigong who served as senior government officials makes it convenient for them to lower the cost of obtaining the valuable commercial information.
