孟子의 經濟思想 硏究

Abstract

Mencius succeeded to philosophical thought of Confucius and developed his thought. His the sense of economy expressed the needs of the producer layer(a peasant and a craftsman). He presented fundamental, precise point of view on division of labor, price and monopolization. As the layer is very complex, his the sense of economy includes that a human uses the mind and the body, that a piece of land must be offered to the peasant, that the peasants must be happy-Jing tian system, for example. He depended profit of the common people, but, on the other hand, criticized representative of the common people(Mo jia, Nong jia). In this regard, we need to positively assess Mencius the sense of economy(theory on division of labor, monopolization and basic spirit of economy). So this paper will unfold tax theory, division theory and prices policy theory on Mencius the sense of economy.
