略论美国新自由主义的经济思想及其当代发展

American Neo-liberal Economic Thought and its Contemporary Development

美国新自由主义源于新保守主义,而新保守主义源于现代自由主义,现代自由主义又源于古典自由主义。美国新自由主义思想主要包括清教个人主义、清教道德观、契约精神,以及约翰·洛克的保护私有财产理论和亚当·斯密的自由放任经济理论。在经济全球化的背景下,新自由主义倡导的自由和平等之间矛盾日益突出,新自由主义对美国国内经济政策的影响日趋式微。

The new liberalism is the result of the new conservatism, the new conservatism is the result ofmodern liberalism, and the modern liberalism is the result of classical liberalism. American New liberalthought mainly includes the Puritan individualism and morality, contract spirit, John Locke’s theory ofprotecting private property and Adam Smith’s laissez-faire economic theory. Under the background ofeconomic globalization, the contradiction between freedom and equality advocated by the new liberalism isincreasingly prominent. Its influence on domestic economic policies is sunk.
