财产权利、自由和平等

绝对财产权利只能保证形式自由。对于实质自由和平等目标的实现,绝对财产权利既没有存在的必要性,也不具备存在的道德合理性。因此,为了建立实现实质自由和平等的和谐社会,必须采取措施对绝对的财产权利加以限制。     

论以赛亚·伯林两种自由概念的内在关系

以赛亚·伯林的自由思想起源于对西方传统思想的批判,正确理解伯林的“积极自由”和“消极自由”概念的内涵、特征及差别,把握两种自由概念之间的内在联系,正本清源,无疑具有理论的探讨意义和现实的启迪意义。     

罗尔斯：从自由到平等

作者认为,罗尔斯把正义视为现代政治哲学的主题,并提出”正义总是意味着平等”,这意味着他将政治哲学的主题由自由变为平等。罗尔斯认为,自由和平等的价值是联系在一起的,而没有平等的自由是形式的。罗尔斯的历史地位和重要意义就在于他完成了西方政治哲学主题的转换。

A Theory of Constitutional Standards and Civil Liberty

Why would potentially intolerant majorities in a democracy protect the rights of unpopular groups? This paper models the formation of legal standards that determine the extent of civil liberty in a society. It is shown that tolerant legal standards emerge over time, despite all individuals having intolerant preferences. Each period citizens choose activities that have social consequences. A majority vote determines which of these activities are legally protected. Because of errors in interpreting the symbolic content of these activities, voters from the majority will not impose excessively intolerant standards, otherwise they may end up severely punishing members of their own group by mistake.
Extending this framework to a dynamic model, we examine Markovian equilibria of the game when government improves with time in its ability to correctly interpret citizens' activities. These improvements allow an unchanging majority to impose increasingly intolerant standards over time. It is shown that societies with high political turnover due to population changes are apt to choose tolerant legal standards. Societies with low turnover are more apt to choose more intolerant and unstable ones. Each group seeks to prevent auditing capabilities of government from improving too much over time in order to prevent future majorities from successfully enforcing more intolerant standards.     

技术进步、市场自由度与物流成本的关系

在单位根检验、最优滞后期选择、协整检验的基础上,建立向量误差修正模型,分析技术进步、市场自由度与物流成本三者之间的长期动态关系,并进行脉冲响应分析和方差分解。结果如下:从长期来看,技术进步有助于降低物流成本、提高市场自由度;市场自由度的提升可使物流成本增加,但市场自由度和物流成本的变化对技术进步的作用微弱;物流成本的增加在初期可提升市场自由度,在后期会阻碍市场自由度的提升。     

Hayek,Friedman, and Buchanan: On Public Life,Chile, and the Relationship between Liberty and Democracy

This article places recent evidence of Hayek's public defense of the Pinochet regime in the context of the work of the other great twentieth-century classical liberal economists, Milton Friedman and James M. Buchanan. Hayek's view that liberty was only instrumentally valuable is contrasted with Buchanan's account of liberty situated in the notion of the inviolable individual. It is argued that Hayek's theory left him with no basis on which to demarcate the legitimate actions of the state, so that conceivably any government action could be justified on consequentialist grounds. Furthermore, Friedman's account of freedom and discretionary power undermines Hayek's proposal that a transitional dictatorship could pave the way for a genuinely free society. It is contended that Hayek's defense of Pinochet follows from pathologies of his theories of liberty and democracy.
