On The Variation Of Economic Ethics In The Transition Period

China is in the important period going through transition from traditional planned economic system to the socialist market economic system. The transition has brought the changes of the political, economic, cultural systems, and promoted the change of the social moral concept at the same time. The fierce conflict of the new and old moral concept will cause the confusion of the ethical order inevitably, "exceed the bounds" and "lose Fan" arise at the historic moment, too. In order to guarantee social economy orderly, progressive and controlled transition, we need the social morals order of the norm and structure a kind of new-type economic moral concept what is suitable for socialist market economy.Economic ethics is decided by economic basis. Economic ethics is link to economic and social state closely. Its development and variation is limited by social system, economic system and cultural environment. Compared and analyzed the difference of the economic ethics variant path between china and the west, based on the Chinese actual conditions, we can find out: new-type economic ethics what meet the needs of socialist market economy should set up on the condition that a man is the terms "person" and "people". The economic ethics of China is transforming from "moral community" into "moral order". The old "moral community" state has been broken, and the new "moral order" has not been set up yet. The society nearly falls into"the moral state of anarchy". Setting up the effective "moral order" adapting the needs of socialist market economy is the developing direction of Chinese economic ethics. Today the state of the Chinese economic ethics is the inevitable outcome of the economic reform, moral construction and legal construction being out of step. The law is the disciplining by others, and a kind of mandatory restraint, but the morals are containing by oneself, it is a kind of soft restraint; The morals and the law are complementary relations: legal system can impel people to follow certain ethical order,and corresponding, only if people have certain morals to contain by oneself, the function of disciplining by others of the law could be more effective. Market economy is not only legal economy but also moral economy. For guarantee the development of Chinese market economy, we should strengthen the legal and moral construction, work along with the law and morals to standardize and restrain people's economic behaviors.Socialist market economy is one kind with public ownership as the foundation. It is the market economy that giving consideration to both efficiency and equity, personal interests and social interests. Socialism is for the affluence and happiness of all people, it is also for the overall and free development of all people. Getting profit properly, honest, fair competition, freedom and responsibility are the basic contents of Chinese new-type economic ethics. Training people's correct economic ethics in case of making a variation in ethics, we should accelerate system reform, attention system innovation, perfect the legal system, enhance the people's moral construction, and give full play to the function of the government and academia in economic ethics.
