弗雷德里克·巴斯夏:经济诡辩·摘录 191

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

Our theory is so little opposed to practice that it is nothing else but _practice explained_. We observe men acting as they are moved by the instinct of self-preservation and a desire for progress, and what they thus do freely and voluntarily we denominate political or social economy. We can never help repeating, that each individual man is _practically_ an excellent economist, producing or exchanging according as he finds it more to his interest to produce or to exchange. Each, by experience, educates himself in this science; or rather the science itself is only this same experience accurately observed and methodically explained.

白话

巴斯夏认为,经济学理论并不与实践对立,它只是对实践的准确解释。人们出于自保和进步的本能自由行动,生产或交换取决于哪种方式更有利,这种自愿行为就是政治或社会经济学。每个人在实践中都是出色的经济学家,通过经验自我教育;经济学不过是把这些经验系统化地观察和解释出来。因此,理论应来自对真实行为的观察,而不是凭空构造。

上下文

巴斯夏是19世纪法国经济学家,他在《经济诡辩》中批判保护主义,强调自由交换的自然性。
