约翰.密尔是19世纪英国著名的政治思想家,他一方面以自由主义原则为基础,认为一般情况下社会事务应由个人自愿去做,政府应奉行放任政策;另一方面,他又根据功利主义原则,赞成政府为增加人民福利对经济事务和个人活动进行适度干预。以此为基础,密尔提出了一套完整的有限政府干预思想,为形成新自由主义政府干预理论作出了重要贡献。 John Mill, a well-known British political thinker in the 19th century, based on the principle of liberalism on the one hand, considered that under normal circumstances, social affairs should be volunteered by individuals and the government should follow a laissez-faire policy. On the other hand, Principle, in favor of the government to increase the people’s welfare on economic affairs and personal activities moderate intervention. Based on this, Mill proposed a complete set of ideas of limited government intervention and made important contributions to the formation of neoliberal government intervention theory.
