Abstract
It is quite a fundamental proposition of Richard Cantillon's Essai sur la Nature du Commerce en General (1755) that employment and population bear a negative relation to the level of real subsistence wages - a form of wages (or subsistence) fund doctrine. This paper presents a 'rational reconstruction' of Cantillon's system and the relation between real wages and employment within it. It seeks thereby to clarify the difficulties in the way of this doctrine operating in a market economy constructed along Cantillonian lines - as opposed to a Cantillonian command economy. These results are contrasted with a model of Cantillon by Hans Brems.
理查德·坎蒂永(Richard Cantillon)的《一般商业自然论》(Essai sur la Nature du Commerce en General)(1755年)的一个基本命题是，就业和人口与实际最低工资水平呈负相关——这是工资(或最低生活)基金学说的一种形式。本文提出了坎蒂永体系的“理性重构”，以及其中实际工资与就业之间的关系。因此，它试图澄清这种学说在按照坎蒂洛学派(而不是坎蒂洛学派的指令经济)的路线构建的市场经济中运作的困难。这些结果与汉斯·布莱姆斯(Hans Brems)的Cantillon模型进行了对比。
