中国晚清重商思想与西方重商主义比较研究

A Comparative Study of Mercantilim in the Late Qing Dynasty in China and in the West

中国近代重商思想和西方重商主义的产生有其历史必然性。两者都把商业和贸易看成增加社会财富、发展社会经济的主要手段 ,代表了资本主义早期商业资本和资本原始积累的要求。但是 ,由于东西方不同的国内外条件和文化差异 ,两者在内容和重心等方面又有着差别。

The emergence of mercantilist ideas in modern China and that in the West are historically inevitable. Both regard commerce and trade as the major means to increase social wealth and develop social economy, and represent the demands for primitive accumulation of capital and commercial capital in the initial stage of capitalism. However, owing to the differences in the internal and external conditions as well as culture between the east and the west, differences exist in both contents and focuses. Such associations and differences are exactly what should be identified through comparison and analysis by employing historical materialism dialectics.
