The Chinese Image in Adam Smith's An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

亚当·斯密的《国富论》在中国广泛传播,受到国内经济学界的广泛关注和研究,但国内学界对他论述中的中国形象的构建却鲜少关注。本文从亚当·斯密《国富论》中有关中国的论述着手,分析亚当·斯密呈现的中国形象,探讨亚当·斯密有关中国形象的知识来源以及其对中国"他者"形象的运用。

Since Adam Smith＇s An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations was translated into Chinese, it has been widely studied by domestic economists. However, domestic scholars rarely pay attention to the construction of China＇s image in his discourse. On the basis of his narration about China in his works, this thesis analyses the Chinese image he presents, explores the sources of his knowledge of China, and probes into his application of the Chinese image of ＂others＂.
