초록
라이오넬 로빈스에 따르면, 경제이론이 호모 이코노미쿠스로 가득찬 세상을 다루고 있다는 것은 오해다. 만일 그렇다면 경제학에서 타인에 대한 관심이 분석되는 것은 언제, 어디에서인가? 본 논문은 이에 답하기 위해 경제학의 정의가 내려지고, 경제학의 분석 대상은 무엇인지에 대한 논의가 시작되는 라이오넬 로빈스(Lionel Robbins)의 1932년 저작과 필립 헨리 윅스티드 (Philip Henry Wicksteed)의 1910년 저작으로 거슬러 올라가 보고자 한다. 이들이 말하는 경제학의 대상과 원리가 지금까지 경제학의 주류적 전통의 핵심으로 남아 있기 때문에, 이들에게서 타인을 고려하는 선호가 어떻게 다뤄지는지를 확인함으로써 현대 경제 이론 내에서 이러한 선호가 차지하는 지위를 비판적으로 검토해낼 수 있기 때문이다.
Abstract
According to Lionel Robbins, it is a common misunderstanding that economics assumes a world full of Homo economicus. If it is a misunderstanding, then where and when in economic theory are others-regarding preferences analyzed? In order to answer the question, this paper traces economic theories back to Lionel Robbins’ “An essay of the nature and significance of economic science” (1932) and Philip Henry Wicksteed’s “The common sense of political economy and selected papers and reviews on economic theory” (1910) both of which defined economics and the subject matter of the economics. Since the definition of economics and the subject matter of the economics that they defined still remains to be mostly adopted ones, examining the status of other-regarding preferences in their theories will allow us to critically review the current status of others-regarding preferences in modern main stream economic theories.
