Abstract

Because economic affairs involve individual action, they must be understood on the basis of a theory which is both subjective, depending on a conception of individual decision-making and especially private interest, and objective, demonstrating how the objective forces of a system of interaction including a system of production and reproduction shape outcomes of individual action. Economic theory, then, requires a conception of the individual agent or subject of economic activity. In this essay, I explore this conception as it develops in the classical theory exemplified by the work of Adam Smith and Karl Marx.

古典政治经济学中的自我及其利益

因为经济事务涉及个人行为，所以必须在这样一种理论的基础上加以理解，这种理论既是主观的，依赖于个人决策特别是私人利益的概念，又是客观的，展示了包括生产和再生产系统在内的相互作用系统的客观力量如何塑造个人行为的结果。因此，经济理论需要一个经济活动的个体代理人或主体的概念。在这篇文章中，我探索了这一概念，因为它在亚当·斯密和卡尔·马克思的经典理论中得到了发展。

期刊介绍： The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought (EJHET), a peer-reviewed journal, has quickly established itself as a leading forum for lively discussion on a wide range of issues in the history of economic thought. With contributions from both established international scholars and younger academics, EJHET is entirely pluralist and non-partisan with regard to subjects and methodologies - it does not subscribe to any particular current of thought, nor relate to any one geographic zone. The Managing Editors and Editorial Board and Advisory Board members are drawn from throughout Europe and beyond, and are committed to encouraging scholars from around the world to contribute to international research and debate.
