如果我们承认每一个人都是理性的经济人(即个人理性),那么究竟为什么人们要去设计并创造出与自身利益不甚吻合、或干脆是背道而驰的制度(即“制度悖论”)?在假定了“制度→人类选择→经济结果”之间的唇齿关系之后,这个问题的提法就变成了如下形式:为什么部分民族国家或地区的人们要去选择、或干脆说是默认了使自己所属的民族国家或地区长期停滞或趋向衰败的制度?本文试图解答的便是这样一个问题。 If we admit that everyone is a rational economic man (ie, personal rationality), why do people actually design and create a system (or “system paradox”) that is not in line with their own interests or simply runs counter to their own interests? After assuming the lip-tooth relationship between “system → anthropic choice → economic outcome”, the formulation of this question has become the following: why some people in some ethnic countries choose to go or choose to default Their own nation-state or region long-term stagnation or declining system? This article is trying to answer is such a question.
