市场、权力与腐败——兼评长期流行的“市场自发治腐论”

Market,Power and Corruption——Reviewing the Chronically Popular Theory of Market Struggling against Corruption

改革开放以来,中国传统的治理腐败理论日益受到诸如寻租腐败论、现代化腐败论等西方腐败理论的挑战。从自由主义角度来看,腐败不是自由市场的产物,而是管制的产物,是权力导致腐败。自由主义的治腐论走向"市场自发治腐论",其思维方法和政策逻辑存在诸多缺陷,将权力与腐败的复杂关系简单化,否认人类思维的至上性与非至上性统一,否认社会秩序的自在性和自为性统一,否认人类治理腐败行动的能动性。现实中国治理腐败,应超越阿克顿命题,按照治理腐败的客观要求和执政党的性质、特点,采取不同于"市场自发治腐论"要求的执政党动员型反腐模式。

Since the reform and opening up,Chinese traditional anti-corruption theories have been increasingly challenged by Western corruption theories,such as the theory of rent-seeking corruption and of modernization leading to corruption. From the perspective of liberalism,corruption is not the product of free market,but the product of regulation. In its opinion,it is power that leads to corruption. As the liberal theory of anti-corruption develops into the theory of market struggling against corruption,there are many defects in its thinking mode and logic of policies,including simplifying the complex relationship between power and corruption,denying the unity of supremacy and non-supremacy of human understanding,denying the unity of the in-itself and for-itself of social order,and denying the initiative of human beings to struggle against corruption. In reality,China should surpass “Acton’s Proposition”and adopt the model of the ruling party mobilizing anti-corruption in accordance with the objective requirements of anti-corruption and the nature and characteristics of the ruling party,which are different from the requirements of the theory of market struggling against corruption.
