诺思和托玛斯在《西方世界的兴起》一书中说到,十八世纪以后西欧所以首先出现经济增长的局面,社会总收入所以会有比人口更迅速的增长,原因在于当地具有成效卓著的经济组织能对私人财产保障安全,因而促进了一般人的好利心理;而西欧这种比较完善的经济组织是中世纪以来将近一千年间长期演变的结果。其实,中国的私有观念、保护私有财产、鼓励私人致富的思想主张是随着历史的发展愈益明显、强烈的,只可惜没有切实的制度组织作保障,而没有出现西方那样的资本主义经济兴旺的局面。本文拟对中国古代私有观念的发展及其对今天发展经济的指导意义进行浅析。 In the book The Rise of the Western World, North and Thomas stated that Western Europe was the first to have economic growth since the eighteenth century, and the total social income would therefore grow more rapidly than the population because of the local success Outstanding economic organizations can guarantee the security of private property and thus promote the goodman’s psychology of the average person. The comparatively perfect economic organization in Western Europe is the result of the long-term evolution of nearly a thousand years since the Middle Ages. In fact, the idea of ​​China’s private conception, the protection of private property and the encouragement of private enrichment have become increasingly clear and strong with the development of history. Regrettably, there is no real system of organization as a safeguard, without the emergence of a capitalist economy like the West. situation. This article intends to analyze the development of ancient Chinese private ideas and their guiding significance for the development of economy today.
