质疑亚当·斯密的分析范畴能否为批判当代公司权力提供基础,主张全球性批判必须超越欧洲商业和殖民帝国的思想局限,促进多元传统间的建设性互动。

Abstract

This paper questions the adequacy of the categories of analysis deployed by Adam Smith to serve as a basis for a progressive critique of corporate power at the ‘open economy’ level, arguing that if a critique of the principle of limited liability and other aspects of the undue influence of corporate power today is to acquire a truly global character, then it must avoid becoming confined within the intellectual horizons of the age of the European commercial and colonial empires, and instead contribute towards constructive interaction between a diversity of intellectual, institutional and cultural traditions.
