文摘Does traditional Chinese economic thought possess genuine analytical rigor?This question lies at the heart of any serious evaluation of its theoretical value and historical significance.It also matters for understanding how best to preserve,build on its remarkable achievements,and develop its intellectual legacy.Critics such as Schumpeter and Taylor have long argued that the economic reasoning found in ancient China cannot compare with that of classical Greece or medieval Europe.Yet this view often reflects the narrow assumptions of mainstream economics,defining analysis almost entirely in terms of market exchange.As a result,it tends to overlook traditions built around statecraft,governance,and the management of economic order.A careful re-examination and Sino-Western comparative analysis of key thinkers-including Mencius,Guanzi,and Sima Qian-tells a different story.Rooted in China’s distinctive cultural and philosophical heritage,traditional Chinese economic thought not only contains the analytical dimensions(as defined by Schumpeter)but also displays a broader and more diverse set of economic reasoning.Notably,its systematic depth and intellectual precision were,in many respects,remarkably advanced.Therefore,advancing the construction of a Chinese school of economics in the new era under the framework of the“Second Integration”,i.e.,integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s fine traditional culture,should,and indeed can draw essential insights from this analytical tradition.

文摘Economic inequality is a persistent global issue with profound implications for mental health,particularly among older adults.Previous studies have largely focused on objective economic well-being indicators such as income,employment status,and poverty.While these factors are crucial,emerging evidence suggests that welfare benefits and subjective economic well-being components of what can be deemed augmented economic well-being,may play equally significant roles in shaping psychological health among aging populations.This research explores how disparities in these aspects contribute to psychological distress in older adults.We highlight the role of financial security,government assistance pro-grams,and personal economic satisfaction.We propose policy interventions to mitigate adverse effects and emphasize the need for a holistic approach to econo-mic well-being to improve mental health outcomes in older adults.This study reveals that subjective financial security and access to welfare benefits often surpass income as predictors of mental health.These insights underscore the importance of broadening economic frameworks in aging research and deve-loping integrated policies to enhance financial and psychological well-being.
