從基督教神學角度反思資本主義經濟理論/郭鴻標

撮要

2008年金融海嘯後,除了反思金融機構監管問題外,更涉及對資本主義經濟理論本身的思考。本篇文章除了引言與結論外,主要分為四部分:第一部分對史密斯(Adam Smith)資本主義的評論,第二部分「天主教新保守主義」訴諸社會「共同的善」補充資本主義的不足,第三部分「基督教社會主義」訴諸「經濟公義」補充資本主義的不足,第四部分中國處境下的基督教神學反省。筆者認為天主教新保守主義對資本主義抱着過分樂觀的期望;由於學術界在經濟理論的討論方面偏重北美洲的資料,對於歐洲的經濟理論較為陌生。所以,筆者特別介紹德國基督教社會主義的經濟理論,幫助大家進行在中國處境下的基督教神學反省。

 

ABSTRACT

After the 2008 financial tsumani, there should be reflection of the capitalist economic theory besides the control of the financial institutions. This paper is consisted of four main parts except the introduction and conclusion. Firstly, the comment on Adam Smith’s Capitalism. Secondly, “The Catholic Conservativism” bases on the concept of “The common good” to supplement the disavandage of the Capitalism. Thirdly, “The Christian Socialism” bases on the concept of “Economic Justice” to supplement the disavandage of the Capitalism. Fourthly,the Christian theological reflection in Chinese context. This author thinks that “The Catholic Conservativism” is too optimistic for the Capitalism. Because the academic circle emphasises more on the discussion of the North American information, but have not enough knowledge of the economic theory in Europe.Therefore,this author introduce the economic theory of German Christian Socialism, in order to help us to do theological reflection in Chinese context.
