摘要
至少在18世纪50年代之前,理查德·坎蒂隆的《一般贸易性质论》(Essay on Nature of Trade in General)的一些草稿都处于不同的完成阶段。这一点可以通过对坎蒂永三个版本作品的逐段比较得出,即1755年的法语随笔,1752-1754年Postlethwayt的通用词典片段和菲利普·坎蒂永的《贸易分析》(1759)。虽然文本之间的许多差异可能归因于意译实践或后期编辑的干预,但其他文本则不能。对这些变化进行比较研究,或许能让我们深入了解这位杰出的经济理论家的思想发展。
‘Something wonderful and incomprehensible in their œconomy’: The English versions of Richard Cantillon's Essay on the Nature of Trade in General
Abstract Until at least the 1750s, a number of drafts survived of Richard Cantillon's Essay on the Nature of Trade in General, in different stages of completion. This is suggested by a paragraph-by-paragraph comparison between three versions of Cantillon's writings, namely the French Essai of 1755, fragments of Postlethwayt's Universal Dictionary (1752–1754) and Philip Cantillon's Analysis of Trade (1759). Whilst numerous variations between the texts may be attributed to free translation practice or to interventions by later editors, others cannot. A comparative study of variations may provide us with insights into the development of the ideas of this masterly economic theorist.
