诚信: 市场经济健康发展的道德灵魂

Abstract

Abstract in Chinese: 诚信是维系市场经济健康运转的道德灵魂，此乃普遍的共识。其依据在于：它是市场主体增进自身物质利益和精神利益的需要；是减少交易费用的重要手段；是自由竞争法则作用的保障。失信行为广泛存在的共性原因是：制度对经济人逃避责任义务的机会主义倾向的约束还存在漏洞；金钱至上的资本主义机制诱使人放弃诚信；资本主义商品生产规律的结果。我国诚信问题比较突出的特殊原因是：我国的市场机制还很不完备，政府对市场的监管很不得力；整个社会的急功近利氛围浓重；信息不对称情况严重。应采取以下措施解决制约市场经济健康发展的这一瓶颈问题：优化申张诚信的社会法治环境；加强诚信的物质保障体系建设；建设现代诚信型政府；发挥媒体的监督作用；改造传统的诚信文化。Abstract in English: Abstract：It is a general consensus that honesty is the moral soul to maintain s healthy functioning of market economy. The reasons are that honesty is the need of market players to improve their material benefit and spiritual interests; it is an important means to reduce the trading cost; it is the result of free competition laws.

In order to solve the bottleneck problem which restricts the healthy development of market economy, we should take the following measures: optimizing the social environment of honesty in rule of law, speeding up the construction of material safeguard system; constructing modern credit government, exerting the supervision of the media and transforming the traditional honesty culture.
