托斯丹·凡勃伦:有闲阶级论·摘录 17

托斯丹·凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》· The Theory of the Leisure Class · 投资

It is as elements of social structure--conventional facts--that leisure and ownership are matters of interest for the purpose in hand. An habitual neglect of work does not constitute a leisure class; neither does the mechanical fact of use and consumption constitute ownership. The present inquiry, therefore, is not concerned with the beginning of indolence, nor with the beginning of the appropriation of useful articles to individual consumption. The point in question is the origin and nature of a conventional leisure class on the one hand and the beginnings of individual ownership as a conventional right or equitable claim on the other hand.

白话

有闲和所有权作为社会结构的要素——习俗性事实——才是这里关心的。习惯性地不工作并不构成有闲阶级;机械地使用和消费物品也不构成所有权。因此,本研究不关心懒惰的起源,也不关心有用物品被个人消费的起源。关键问题是一方面习俗性有闲阶级的起源和性质,另一方面个人所有权作为习俗性权利或公平要求的开端。

上下文

凡勃伦区分习俗性制度与单纯行为事实,明确研究范围是作为社会结构的有闲与所有权。
