资本主义、社会民主主义和福利国家

在资本主义市场经济发展的进程中，产生了福利国家。工业主义理论家从工业化的视角把福利国家的发展看作是工业化发展的水平的结果；社会民主主义者把福利国家看作是实现社会主义经济发展的必要步骤，并借助干凯恩斯主义的福利国家来推行其福利国家的发展战略；一些从资本主义发展的角度认识福利国家原因的理论家，则把福利国家的出现看作是资本主义市场经济发展的产物，并分析了福利国家中的阶级利益的对立。     

Jean Antoine Chaptal: from chemistry to political economy

The article studies to which extent the economic ideas of Jean Antoine Chaptal were conditioned by his education and knowledge as a chemist. Chaptal's life and activities and the main elements of his economic thought as expressed in his written works suggest certain relationships between his education as scientist, doctor and chemist, and his economic thought. Chaptal's place in the history of economic thought is discussed, especially those opinions that define him as a neo-mercantilist, or as an economist of the nation in the pure industrialist sense. But on a closer analysis, Chaptal can be defined as an industrialist physiocrat as a result of his training.
