过时的新古典经济学范式该改变了
A Kuhnian Paradigm Shift in Economics Is Overdue
【摘要】 新古典经济学理论仍停留在19世纪形成的、对孤立的个人及其在市场中互动关系的探讨。作为其理论基础的"经济人"假说,本质上已被弗洛伊德和巴甫洛夫的理论所否定。经济学家需要摆脱不合时宜的假设,以适应21世纪的需要。为了了解真实市场的致命弱点,应对未来的巨大挑战,经济学必须从学习之初就明确,现实生活中的市场是如何运作的。这需要改变传统的经济学范式,采用新的研究范式。新范式关注人的行为影响,并汲取一些重要概念,包括非对称信息、相对收入、基本需求、抗衡特大企业权力的权力、过度全球化带来的威胁等。新范式须认识到持续环境污染和自然资源枯竭的危险,兼顾子孙后代的生存需求,旨在建设一个公正的社会。
【Abstract】 Mainstream economic theory is stuck in the 19th century conception of human beings and their interaction in markets.Homo oeconomicus as a theoretical construct is essentially preFreudian and pre-Pavlovian.Economists need to shed their anachronistic canon in order to become relevant for the 21st century.Hence,students must be introduced to the workings of real-existing markets from the very beginning of their studies in order to understand the Achilles heels of real markets and the formidable challenges that lie ahead.However,this requires a Kuhnian paradigm shift away from orthodox dogma and toward a discipline that starts with behavioral economics and incorporates such concepts asymmetric information,relative incomes,basic needs,the need for countervailing power to offset the power of mega-corporations,the threats of hyper-globalization,and recognizes the dangers of continual pollution and degradation of the earth’s natural resources in order to achieve a just society that also considers the needs of generations yet unborn.
