The Fragile Structure of Free-Market Society
本文将企业社会责任(CSR)与新古典市场理论对比,发现两者在人性观和市场运作方式上根本冲突,认为需要新的市场政治理论,并提出市场应被视为脆弱系统而非和谐领域。
Abstract: In this article thinking on corporate social responsibility (CSR) is compared with the dominant political theory of the market: the neoclassical theory. The comparison shows that thinking on CSR fundamentally collides with that theory. For example, their respective normative views on man are incompatible, as are their respective views on the modus operandi of the market. Given that CSR is desirable it follows that a new political theory of the market is needed. This article suggests some initial steps toward developing that new political theory of the market. For example, it defends the proposition that the neoclassical idea of the market as a harmonic sphere must be replaced by the idea of the market as a fragile system.
