Abstract

ABSTRACT Compared to other elements of his political and economic thought, John Stuart Mill’s claim to be ‘under the general designation of Socialist’ has largely been ignored. Where it has been acknowledged, it has generally been denied. One exception to this rule has been to link Mill with ‘market socialism’, primarily because of his commitments to worker-cooperatives and competition. These are both elements of Mill's socialism, but when we examine his position on production, distribution and exchange more carefully, it becomes much less clear that Mill endorses anything like a ‘market’ in his socialism. This paper offers a critical assessment of Mill’s status as ‘market socialist’, considering, in particular, the ‘ethos’ he proposed for socialist organization of production and exchange, which is at odds with a profit-seeking motivation.

约翰·斯图亚特·密尔:市场社会主义者?

摘要与他的政治经济思想中的其他元素相比，约翰·斯图尔特·密尔关于“被统称为社会主义者”的主张在很大程度上被忽视了。在被承认的地方，它通常被否认。这条规则的一个例外是将米尔与“市场社会主义”联系起来，主要是因为他对工人合作社和竞争的承诺。这些都是密尔社会主义的要素，但当我们更仔细地审视他在生产、分配和交换方面的立场时，就不太清楚密尔是否支持他的社会主义中的“市场”。本文对米尔作为“市场社会主义者”的地位进行了批判性的评估，特别是考虑到他为社会主义生产和交换组织提出的“精神气质”，这与追求利润的动机不一致。

期刊介绍： For over sixty-five years, the Review of Social Economy has published high-quality peer-reviewed work on the many relationships between social values and economics. The field of social economics discusses how the economy and social justice relate, and what this implies for economic theory and policy. Papers published range from conceptual work on aligning economic institutions and policies with given ethical principles, to theoretical representations of individual behaviour that allow for both self-interested and "pro-social" motives, and to original empirical work on persistent social issues such as poverty, inequality, and discrimination.
