Abstract: Economism claims that all human behaviors are economic behaviors, individuals' happiness and social welfare depend on economic growing absolutely, andprogress of science and technology can guarantee economic growing limitlessly.But actually many of human behaviors are not economic behaviors, peoples' happiness doesn't depend on economic growing when their basic need are satisfied, andprogress of science and technology cannot guarantee economic growing limitlessly. Science and technology are not omnipotent. People cannot reconstruct natural environment at their pleasure with science and technology. Science and technologycannot bring human beings to the paradise where they are just happy without anysuffering. The more forcefully human beings intervene the nature, the more severely to be punished by the nature. The feasibleness of economism doesn't mean itcorresponds to the objective laws of nature, but means it submits to human greed. Ecology and the ecological crisis in the world shows that the way of production and living guiding by economism is not sustainable. Economism has a heavy influence in China. But we cannot support economism, and cannot choose the way of "polluting first and then managing”.
Key words: economism, happiness, view of omnipotent science and technology
摘要: 经济主义认为人的一切行为都是经济行为,个人幸福和社会福利绝对依赖于经济增长,科技进步可保证经济无限增长。但人的许多行为都不是经济行为,人们的基本需要得到满足之后,生活幸福就不再依赖于经济增长,科技也不能保证经济的无限增长。科技不是万能的,科技进步不能使人类随心所欲地改造环境,也不能把人类带入只有幸福没有痛苦的天堂。人类对自然环境干预得越强烈,受到的惩罚就越严厉。经济主义的可行性(现实性)不是与自然规律相符合的可行性,而是顺从贪欲的可行性。生态学和现实的生态危机都表明经济主义所指导的生产、生活方式是不可持续的。经济主义在中国也产生了较大影响,但中国不能允许经济主义泛滥,不能走先污染后治理的道路。
