一种新的发展观——兼评发展经济学的前景

A New Perspective of Development —With Reference to Development Economics

新发展观是以人为主体 ,以制度为载体的观念。每个经济主体不是经济福利的被动接受者 ,而是能动地获取机会、争取权利并进而享有充分的经济自由的经济单位。制度也不是附着在发展之外的一些既定因素 ,而是通过传导、保障个人的选择权利 ,进而推进经济发展的内在因素。

The new perspective of development concentrates on human being, and is based on institutions. All the economic agents act not as the acceptors of economic welfare, but as independent economic units who can chase opportunity, acquire economic rights, and enjoy economic freedom. In turn, institutions are not exogenous factors of development; actually they function endogenously through transferring and safeguarding peoples rights of choice.
