Zhang Jiangang: The More Developed The Market Economy The Higher The Moral Level.

June 9, 2011 master Dialogue Series Lecture 1

market

VS Ethics -- the summit dialogue between philosophers and economists is held at Peking University.

Zhang Jiangang, a researcher at the Institute of philosophy, Institute of philosophy, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said at the meeting that the market economy needs morality. The moral behavior we pursue is only found in the market economy. He said that in all parts of the world, where the market economy is now relatively developed, the local people's moral standards are relatively good, honest and trustworthy, because if you are dishonest and trustworthy, your business will not survive and will soon be over.

And those areas that are more fraudulent and fraudulent are the underdeveloped areas of the market economy.

The following is the pcript of the text.

Zhang Jiangang: what I have just said is

Confucian

It is not ego centered and no moral system. Therefore, if Adams is not self centred, he will not write the theory of moral sentiments, nor will he write the theory of national wealth.

I think it has been very good for the professor to generalize just now, because we are all pursuing happiness, actually there are two kinds. There are two kinds at first, one is desire.

The other is that the desire is no longer effective, including Sima Qian, that is, how you can satisfy him. What I mean is not to say that these religious and ethical pursuits are the same as the market itself, but the religious and ethical considerations are from the heart of the people. The market is thinking about the behavior. Adams's original meaning means that the market must pursue their own interests, and the value benefits he brings to the society is bigger than that of him directly pursuing social interests.

In reality, we find that it is all the same now. You see that people who sell melon seeds and sweet potatoes have to make delicious melon seeds and sweet potatoes to make money. I said at first that people are very ignorant and pursue their own interests. Some people look at the long term. Some people look at it very short. Our definition is not the most basic nature, but how wide and how far a person's career is.

I understand that the criticism of a professor is that a gentleman should be righteous and a villain should benefit. You see that a gentleman is a long-term person who looks at him. He is shortsighted. This is the biggest difference between man and man.

But there is another characteristic of the market economy, that is, he can only make money in the competition, only when he is loyal to the long-term interests, so he pays special attention to his reputation in the market economy. We can imagine where a thing is produced. The owner of the mineral water is not known. How can we drink it with ease?

It is in the form of a system that turns your egoistic heart into the benefit of others.

(the original)

From the perspective of ethics and religion, I feel that there is no contradiction with the market.

ponder a question

Different angles, or many different science, are not the objects of our research, but the methods we study. We tend to have different approaches to this purpose. We should remind that a lot of education is very important to me. But one thing is that we have just become a professor of filial son. From that point of view, we can not solve some problems. It is very simple. For example, the real way we used to be was that your mother loved her son very much, and his son loved his mother very much. Now there is only one steamed bread, and there is no way for your son to eat or eat.

If the son eats, the son loves the mother, the mother is hungry, the son is more miserable. If the mother eats, the mother loves the son, the son is hungry, the mother is more miserable, the steamed bread can not be allocated to anyone who eats.

Therefore, a lot of market rules are self centred, based on our market bargaining. If we all believe in the interests of others first, we should be moved by preferences. If preferences are like this, this thing will be sold to you, I say two pieces to you, you say no, I have to buy five yuan, and 50 Fen will do it, no, that twenty yuan, this deal can not be traded.

So I say that there are many basic ways of behavior based on such a self centred basis. I think many of the contradictions between Professor Cheng and I are not contradictory, but Professor Cheng is aimed at many historical issues. Of course, I am narrower.

And I also think that the market economy needs morality. The moral behavior we pursue is only found in the market economy. I just said that the purpose of human beings can only do good deeds, not do bad things, help others and hurt them, which is related to this human nature.

We must need a system, that is, you need to satisfy your interests, and the second is to educate people. Education is our theory. What is your real ability in an enterprise?

It is your reputation, your reputation, because we are born closer to us, and let a person look far away, need the formulation of the system, and we need a lot of theoretical persuasion, including statistical research. We say so, you see, in all parts of the world, where the market economy is now relatively complete development, which place people's moral standards are better, honest and trustworthy. If you are not honest and trustworthy, your business will not survive, and it will soon be over.

But there are more places to cheat than others, and he will not allow your developed economy in the market.

I hope others think we have a very moral person, but these are also self-centered needs. If a person doesn't care about himself, what do you mean by staring at me? I don't care about myself. If you beat me, it's also my own. Do people have morality, people should have good heart, or they are built on the basis of self centred. So we all say that people's face is very important in China's rural areas, so that people face is very important, so we are standardized in various occasions, or I am a professor today, and Yan Yu is not wearing a tie, but they all dress very neatly, so that's what I mean. First of all, I do not deny that mind fixing is still very important. Mind fixing is a personal sentiment. We hope to be better than others. We hope to be respected, so we must have a good reputation.
