【摘要】：稀缺性假设是西方主流经济学的基本假设之一。从词源学的角度看,稀缺有一个向一般意义层面或普世内涵转变的过程,稀缺性假设并非一种"自然"公理,而是"人为"假设,这是对稀缺性假设追根溯源式考究的动力。早在古希腊时期,色诺芬、柏拉图和亚里士多德就阐述过人类社会的稀缺状态,但其内涵完全异于稀缺性假设,直至17、18世纪,霍布斯、洛克使用稀缺引出私有产权和雇佣劳动的合法性,休谟不仅在对稀缺定义的形式上与稀缺性假设极其相近,且同斯密一起论证了永无止境的需要及对其追逐的合法性,从而完成了直至现今资本主义的若干核心理念的合法性论证,稀缺性假设才得以基本形成。因此,稀缺性假设在资本主义意识形态合法性的获得上起到了基础性作用。
[Abstract]:Scarcity hypothesis is one of the basic hypotheses of western mainstream economics. From the perspective of etymology, scarcity has a process of transition to general meaning or universal connotation. Scarcity hypothesis is not a "natural" axiom. It is the "man made" hypothesis, which is the motive force for tracing back to the source of the scarcity hypothesis. As early as ancient Greece, Xenophen, Plato and Aristotle explained the scarcity state of human society, but its connotation was completely different from the scarcity hypothesis. Until the 1700s, Hobbes and Locke used scarcity to elicit the legitimacy of private property rights and wage labour, and Hume was not only very close to the assumption of scarcity in the form of a definition of scarcity. Together with Smith, he demonstrated the endless need and the legitimacy of pursuing it, thus completing the legitimacy argument of several core concepts of capitalism up to now, and the scarcity hypothesis was basically formed. Scarcity hypothesis plays a fundamental role in obtaining the legitimacy of capitalist ideology.
