观察“冷战发生”的新视角——写在《经济漩涡:观察冷战发生的新视角》出版之前

A New Perspective to Observe the“Occurrence of the Cold War”:Before the Publication of Economic Vortex:A New Prospective to Observe the Cold War

冷战的起源和发生,特别是苏联在其中的作用,这是学界一直在讨论的问题。如果我们从经济这个新视角,特别是苏联的经济观念、经济政策以及美苏之间的经济关系来研究,就会发现不同的逻辑链条,产生不同的历史叙事,从而对战后美苏关系变化、冷战格局形成和展开提供一种新的解释框架。历史研究的责任在于说明冷战研究究竟是怎样发生的,美苏双方的动机是什么,为什么会造成如此的结果。事实上,通往冷战的每一步都有回转的机会和可能,但美苏走到最后一步还是掉入了冷战的深渊。

The origin and occurrence of the Cold War,especially the role of the Soviet Union,has always been a heated topic in the academic circle.If observing from the new perspective of economy,especially from the notion of economy and economic strategies of the Soviet Union as well as economic relationships between the U.S.and the Soviet Union,we will find a different logic chain,develop a different historical narrative and eventually form a new framework to explain how the relationships between the U.S.and the Soviet Union changed and how the Cold War pattern formed and developed.The mission of historical research is to find out how the Cold War happened,what were the motivations of the U.S.and the Soviet Union and what caused such results.In fact,there were opportunities and possibilities to reverse the trend at each stage,but eventually the U.S.and the Soviet Union sank into the abyss of the Cold War.
