经济发展中的文化因素——基于中日比较的视角

Cultural Factors on Economic Development:A Comparative Perspective of China and Japan

通过考察世界上已经发展起来或者正在快速发展的国家和地区的经济发展与文化之间的关系,我们认为经济发展与文化具有一定的关联性,文化不是直接促进经济发展的因素,而是基础因素。文化通过个人和组织、制度和政府两个渠道发挥对经济发展的影响作用,并最终归结为市场形态。在对中日之间几个文化侧面的比较以及几个经济发展侧面的考察基础上,我们得出,中日两国由于在文化上存在相似性,从而在经济发展过程中体现了相似的特征。

By examining the relationship between economic development and culture in countries and regions that have developed or are developing rapidly in the world,we believe that economic development and culture have a certain correlation,and culture is not a direct factor to promote economic development,but a fundamental factor.Culture exerts its influence on economic development through the two channels of individuals and organizations,institutions and government,and finally boils down to the market form.By comparison through several cultural aspects and examination of several aspects of economic development between China and Japan,we conclude that China and Japan have similar characteristics in the process of economic development because of their cultural similarities.
