先秦儒家市场经济思想解析

On the Thoughts of Market Economy of Confucianism in the Pre-Qin Period

先秦时期是中国史上市场经济发展的第一个黄金期。作为此黄金期的理论表现,先秦儒学认"士农工商"为"国之石民",指市场交易为互惠互利,称政府管理市场经济的最佳方式为"不下席而天下治",如此等等当可为当代中国的市场经济建设提供有益的思想资源。

The pre-Qin period is the first golden period of the development of market economy in Chinese history.As the theoretical expression of this golden period,Confucianism lists ＂scholar-bureaucrats,farmers,artisans and merchants＂as＂the four cornerstones of the country＂,holds that market trade is a mutually beneficial behavior between the buyer and the seller,and advocates that the best way of the government to manage the market economy is＂the management by non-interference＂.These ideas of Confucianism in that period can provide helpful theoretical resources for the construction of market economy in contemporary China.
