从收入分配看中国古代的经济理性抑制

On the Inhibition of Economic Rationality in Ancient China: From the Viewpoint of Income Distribution

中国封建经济的长期停滞具有制度缺陷方面的原因。古代收入制度安排以官本位为核心,背离了经济贡献与收益相一致的原则,使分配的激励机制消散,导致经济运行无效率,并从根本上抑制了个人的经济理性。市场经济的建立有赖于经济理性的形成,而收入分配的深层次改革可能是培育经济理性的一个切入点。

There were institutional reasons for the long-standing stagnation of the Chinese feudal economy. The institutional arrangements for income in ancient China focused on the official-based standard and deviated from the principle of the agreement of economic contribution and gains, resulting in the absence of incentive mechanism of income and inefficient economic operation and fundamentally inhibiting the economic rationality of individuals. The establishment of market economy relies on the formation of economic rationality, and the deep reform of income distribution may be a starting point for its cultivation.
