关于“财富”概念的新认识与研究述评

摘要

财富是人类永恒的追求目标，但究竟“什么是财富”，“应该追求怎样的财富”却一直困扰着人们。学术界往往从不同的学科语境出发对上述问题进行研究和辨析。然而，研究的立场、逻辑起点以及研究方法的不同往往是导致争论的重要原因。由于对概念本身的认识角度和研究目的不同，必然导致不同的定义、论断和争议。从概念出发对“财富”的内涵和本质进行科学辨析是一项非常基础而重要的工作，欲“正本”必先“溯源”。在此主要对学界关于“财富”的新认识和研究进行梳理和评述。%Wealth is the eternal pursuit of human beings, but the problems, such as ＂what is wealth？＂ and ＂what kind of wealth should we pursue？＂ have always been plaguing people. A lot of research and discussion have been done from different academic perspectives. However, different standpoints of research, logical starting points and research methods always lead controversies. Different definitions, conclusions and controversies are inevitable due to different understandings of the concept itself and research purposes. From the concept of ＂wealth＂, it is a vital and foundational thing to distinguish the connotation and essence of ＂wealth＂ scientifically. We should readjust the research and find the reason fundamentally. This paper intends to give a summary and some commentaries on the present situation of research on ＂wealth＂.
