"Economic Man" Theory And The Administratiive Ethic Construct Of China

"Economic Man" idea is a premiss of the mostly schools of the west countries to make their point, such as Classical Liberalism, Utilitarianism and New Liberalism. During the course of theory's development, the meaning of the west "Economic Man" had changed a lot and every different group has a different understand about it. From Adam.smith's "marketing economic man" to James.M.Buchanan's "political economic man", then to Becker's "social economic man"; From utilitarianism's "utility economic man" to Rawles' "moral and justical economic man", then to Nozick's "right economic man"; From New Classical Economical School's "entirely rational economic man" to Marginal Utility School's "marginal rational economic man", then to Simon.Herbert.A's "limited rational economic man", the intension and the extension of "economic man" changed continually. So holding those characters of "economic man" and inducing their commonness is just the first task of the article.In the west, every school's thought incarnated different guides of administratiive ethic, for instance justice, efficiency, duty and benefit and so on, which compare to traditional ethical ideas of China, these are the same aspects as well as difference between them. There is an important meaning to distinguish the different administrative ethic guides between the West and China and to excavative useful value factors to the administrative ethic construction of China.Finally, the prevalence of "Economic Man" idea in our country must bring on great impact on the traditional ideas of the administratiive ethic, for example the human nature idea, the administrative ethic value idea, the administrative ethic responsibility idea and the administrative ethic benefit idea and so on. Of course, as long as we hold rightly, the "Economic Man" idea can also offer beneficial enlightenment to us. Importangly, it can afford countermeasure thoughts for consummating the Administratiive Ethic Construct of China, including establishing government credit system, perfecting ethical supervision mechanism, intensifying ethical purify mechanism, sparkpluging ethical incentive mechanism and optimizing individual ethical construction of the administrative main body etc.
