Abstract

This article aims to create a model for the underlying economic logic of the feudal economy, which can then be contrasted with the much better-known models for the capitalist economy. It does so by developing a discussion of a very frequent pattern in pre-industrial, feudal, societies: active local economies with highly developed exchange, which never, even remotely, developed in the direction of capitalism. It is argued here that this is because they obeyed a different economic logic, rather than just a simpler version of the logic of the capitalist world, which was somehow ‘blocked’ from developing any further. The article then sets out the basic elements of what that logic could be.
封建经济是如何运作的?中世纪社会的经济逻辑
本文旨在为封建经济的基本经济逻辑创建一个模型,然后将其与更著名的资本主义经济模型进行对比。它通过对前工业化、封建社会中一种非常常见的模式进行讨论来做到这一点:活跃的地方经济,具有高度发达的交流,这些经济从未朝着资本主义的方向发展,即使是遥远的方向。这里有人认为,这是因为他们遵循了一种不同的经济逻辑,而不仅仅是资本主义世界逻辑的简单版本,资本主义世界在某种程度上被“阻止”了进一步发展。然后,文章阐述了这种逻辑的基本要素。
