弗雷德里克·巴斯夏:经济诡辩·摘录 160

弗雷德里克·巴斯夏《经济诡辩》· Economic Sophisms · 投资

Again, to conclude that this vast apparatus leads to simple compensations, we must stick to the "consequently" of M. de Dombasle, and make sure that the price of labour will not fail to rise with the price of the protected products. This is a question of fact which I remit to M. Moreau de Jonnés, that he may take the trouble to find out whether the rate of wages advances along with the price of shares in the coal-mines of Anzin. For my own part, I do not believe that it does; because, in my opinion, the price of labour, like the price of everything else, is governed by the relation of supply to demand. Now, I am convinced that _restriction_ diminishes the supply of coal, and consequently enhances its price; but I do not see so clearly that it increases the demand for labour, so as to enhance the rate of wages; and that this effect should be produced is all the less likely, because the quantity of labour demanded depends on the disposable capital. Now, protection may indeed displace capital, and cause its transference from one employment to another, but it can never increase it by a single farthing.

白话

要得出这套复杂机制只带来简单补偿的结论,必须咬住东巴斯勒先生的“从而”,并确保劳动力价格一定随受保护产品价格上升。这是事实问题,我交给莫罗·德·若内斯先生去查:工资率是否随安赞煤矿股价一同上涨。我个人不信,因为工资像其他价格一样由供求决定。限制减少煤炭供应、推高煤价,但我不清楚它是否增加劳动力需求以提高工资;更不可能,因为劳动力需求取决于可支配资本,而保护主义只能转移资本,不能增加一分钱。

上下文

巴斯夏在《经济诡辩》中反驳保护主义者东巴斯勒,用煤矿例子说明工资未必随物价上涨。

今日一问

你能否用供求关系而非“从而”的推断,分析一项政策对工资的真实影响?
