摘要
黄宗智提出的以“边际报酬”为评判尺度的“过密化”理论 ,是其分析和评判中国小农经济的理论基点。用“边际报酬”概念的源头———西方经济学中的“生产函数”来考察 ,“过密化”理论有其不严密之处。以建立在西方经验之上的“边际报酬”概念来评判与西方农业经济有天壤之别的中国小农经济 ,更有其无法弥补的局限性。以往 ,东西方学者对“过密化”理论的回应多停留在表层 ,很少有人对其理论基点提出置疑 ,以此为基础的理论创新更是少之又少。本文主要从西方经济学的生产论出发 ,对“过密化”理论进行分析和评判 ,以促发更深的理论思考和更加科学的理论创新。
Philip Huang's “Involutionary Theory' is his theoretical BP which was used to analyze and comment on Chinese small-scale peasant economy. Observed from the origin of marginal returns , “Involutionary Theory' isn't tight. It has limitations to use the concept of marginal returns which is built on western experience to comment on Chinese small-scale peasant economy which has a world of difference from western peasant economy. In the past, most of the respondences to “Involutionary Theory' from western and eastern scholars still stay surface layer. There has few scholars to put forward query to it, and there has fewer theoretical creations. This article uses production theory to comments on “Involutionary theory' in order to promote deeper theoretical ideas and more scientific theoretical creations.
