Abstract

Abstract Significant parts of the work of the great economist and economic visionary János Kornai function as a magnifying glass in economic theory, philosophy and history. Kornai examined economic systems and system-mixes with substantial details, for then being able to focus his audiences' attention on the most relevant and critical aspects of them. One of Kornai's masterpieces, The Socialist System – a book which recently passed its 30-year publishing anniversary – is such a political economy lens on communism. I am attempting a concise conversion of this magnifying glass, to apply a Galileian metaphor, into an economic telescope. In other words, I am adding another economic lens – that of moral economics – to the Kornaian viewpoints. In a short analysis going through various dimensions of The Socialist System , I am coupling Kornai's thoughts with moral economic ideas, both from the classical and the contemporary moral economy streams. The goal with this exercise of respectfully refreshing a toolkit and style of economic analysis is to then gaze into, and partially describe a potential multitude, or spectra of economic systems, which may manifest in econodiversity.

“天国”快照:János科尔奈社会主义制度的道德经济重访
伟大的经济学家和经济远见者János科尔奈的著作的重要部分在经济理论、哲学和历史上起着放大镜的作用。科尔奈考察了经济体系和系统混合的大量细节,以便能够将他的听众的注意力集中在最相关和最关键的方面。科尔奈的代表作之一《社会主义制度》(The Socialist System)——最近刚过了出版30周年——就是这样一个从政治经济学角度观察共产主义的作品。用伽利略的比喻来说,我正试图把这个放大镜简洁地转换成一个经济望远镜。换句话说,我是在为科尔奈派的观点添加另一个经济学视角——道德经济学视角。在对《社会主义制度》的各个维度进行的简短分析中,我将科尔奈的思想与来自古典和当代道德经济学流派的道德经济学思想结合起来。这种恭敬地更新经济分析工具和风格的练习的目标是,然后凝视并部分描述可能在经济多样性中表现出来的潜在群体或经济系统的光谱。
