摘要

经济理论通常采用“自爱”或“有远见的最大化者”假设。当代经济学对功利主义传统进行了限定，寻求扩大其解释和应用的范围。本文希望关注的理论问题是，在经济学中，人类行为的某些方面是否以及如何被表示为破坏性或自我破坏性。本文对斯密和哈耶克对破坏性行为和自我毁灭行为的思考进行了初步梳理，他们对这一问题尤为敏感。破坏性的人类行为会严重破坏或永久破坏现有的改善福祉的可能性吗?通过与其他知识语言的比较，最后一部分考虑了文学语言是如何捕捉破坏性和自我破坏性行为的。

Destructive Behaviour: Economics and Literature

Economic theory has conventionally adopted the ‘self-love’ or ‘far-sighted maximizer’ assumption. Contemporary economics has qualified the utilitarian tradition, seeking to enlarge its range of interpretation and application. The theoretical problem that the present paper wishes to focus on is if and how aspects of human behaviour have been represented as destructive or self-destructive in economics. The paper presents a preliminary survey of thoughts on destructive and self-destructive action by Smith and Hayek, who were especially sensitive to the issue. Can destructive human actions seriously damage or permanently destroy the existing possibilities of improving well-being ? By way of comparison with other languages of knowledge, the last section considers how destructive and self-destructive action has been captured in literary language.

期刊介绍： History of Economic Ideas is a new international series of Quaderni di storia dell''economia politica, a journal founded in 1983 to promote collaboration between scholars who share an historical approach to the major issues, the various "revolutions" which have left their mark on economics and the spread of economic ideas beyond the narrow circle of specialists. History of Economic Ideas rejects the dichotomy between "analysis" and "culture": both aspects are of equal importance for a wider understanding of the subject. In a period such as our own, where paradigms which once seemed unshakeable are now being challenged, a multidisciplinary analysis of the historical development of economics might contribute to shedding light on the issues at the root of current debate. Besides essays and critical surveys, the journal includes archive material and reviews of new books on history of economics. History of Economic Ideas is double-blind peer reviewed.
