The topic of this dissertation is mainly based on empirical research,combined with multi-disciplinary research perspectives and theories.The main text is divided into four chapters.It focuses on Mu Ouchu to examine the relationship between politics and business during the Republic of China.It mainly includes the following four parts:The first part is through Mu Ouchu’s early personal experience of "business in business",to discover the institutional environment that rewarded industry during the Beiyang government,and on the one hand,it promoted the flow of various classes of society and liberated business organizations from the bottom ecology.The field is expanding in the investment boom.On the other hand,the Beiyang government’s attitude towards industrial and commercial workers was not consistent with the actual behavior of the grassroots administrators in implementing industrial and commercial policies.This is because the squires firmly occupied the grassroots power system in the early Republic of China.At the core of this,the central government’s inability to control the local market order caused changes in the political-business relationship during that period.The second part is to analyze why Mu Ouchu failed to do business as a well-known modern industrialist,and at the same time explore how he “speaks in business and politics” during his business period,and then comprehensively analyzes the transition from a well-known industrialist to a key member of the government’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce.In order to see how the barriers of the political and business class in the Republic of China could be "broken" from the perspective of individual cases.The third part is to analyze the interaction of politics and business in the cotton textile industry through Mu Ouchu’s "politics,speech and business" during the Great Depression.In the 1930 s,the social environment changed drastically.The Nanjing government was short-lived.In the face of international competition and the labor movement,the common interests of industrial and commercial enterprises and their regime were damaged.Therefore,the political and business parties carried out further communication and cooperation,and achieved certain goals.Positive effect.However,the national government’s coalition of cotton textile enterprises is basically only on the surface,because the local government’s attitude towards handling labor conflicts is not completely consistent with that of the central government.Spinners still encounter many constraints when facing local governments.As time went by,the National Government finally chose to strengthen its control over the cotton spinning industry but did not implement real relief.The cotton spinning merchants were completely disappointed with the government,and the relationship between the two sides appeared cracks.Fourth,during the comprehensive anti-Japanese war,Mu Ouchu was still trying to surpass under the constraints of the objective environment in order to achieve the ideal of saving the country by industry,but in the end he was unable to break free from the vortex of disputes between political stance and chaotic current situation..After the government implemented a unified purchase and sales policy for cotton yarn,Mu Ouchu’s single-minded approach to the public has greatly reduced the profit margins of cotton spinning merchants,forcing the latter to start a public opinion war with Mu Ouchu to win social sympathy,and on the other hand to use secret speculation.Confronting the government’s parity policy,the political-business relationship in the cotton textile industry has become increasingly rigid,which has aggravated the confusion of cotton yarn market prices,and even directly involved the reorganization of power within the economic departments of the National Government.Through the discussion in the above part,the topic of this dissertation believes that the institutional changes brought about by the political environment are an important factor in the reconstruction of the relationship between political and commercial affairs under different regimes in the Republic of China,but it is not a decisive factor.Since it is difficult to get rid of the influence of path dependence in the process of institutional changes,the fusion of old and new ideas and policies has become the norm during the Republic of China period,resulting in the failure of the political-business relationship to stabilize in a short period of time.Such as the deterioration of the central government’s policy of favoring merchants under the traditional squire governance at the grassroots level in the early Republic of China is a sufficient example of this phenomenon.In addition,according to the differential order theory,each businessman and official has formed a layer of social network with himself as the center,and their handling of instrumental rationality and emotional value will cause the structure of the entire network to fluctuate.However,the cooperative or non-cooperative game between politics and business,the struggle and cooperation within the government,and the competition and cooperation between businessmen are changing all the time in the actual historical process.The communication circles of both parties can produce countless in the same period.This kind of permutation and combination makes the relationship between them difficult to grasp and qualitative.Finally,the economic policy of the Nationalist Government during the war was undoubtedly the subjective reason for the rigid political-business relations in the cotton textile industry,but in essence,the complex objective environmental factors are the fundamental forces that determine the direction of the political-business relations: the incompetence of the high-level government,the party-state system The shortcomings of the government and the irreversibility of inflation have exacerbated the contradiction between administrative power and corruption that cannot be untied,and greatly reduced the profit space of private capital,making the private economy wandering in the helplessness of doubting the government but losing the right to free production.To a certain extent,it shows that the national government’s economic control will eventually collapse.
