本文系统考察了传统研究关于经济不平等、增长与民主之间关系的相关结论,指出传统研究的重大缺陷是忽视了对于再分配政策之政治可行性的分析,使得传统研究经验结论相互抵牾,难以为理解经济不平等、增长与民主之间关系提供统一分析框架。作者研究发现,经济不平等是影响增长与民主关系的重要变量,这使得现代化理论关于增长与民主线性正向相关的结论值得怀疑;开放经济在一定程度上加大了经济不平等程度,这导致经济全球化时代民主制度的巩固受到限制;再分配政策在不同的政治可行性条件下,对经济不平等与民主的关系产生不同影响,即当再分配政策削弱了经济不平等的程度时,民主更容易实现,而当再分配政策被富入阶层否决时,则很可能带来专制统治的危险。
This paper systematically examines the related conclusions of the traditional research on the relationship between economic inequality, growth and democracy. It points out that the major defect of traditional research is the neglect of the analysis of the political feasibility of the redistribution policy, which makes the traditional research findings contradict each other and is difficult Provide a unified analytical framework for understanding the relationship between economic inequality, growth and democracy. The authors find that economic inequality is an important variable affecting the relationship between growth and democracy, which makes the conclusion that modern theory is positively related to growth and the linearity of democracy. It is doubtful that an open economy has increased economic inequality to a certain extent, resulting in Under the conditions of different political feasibility, the consolidation of democratic system in the era of economic globalization is limited. Redistributive policies have different influences on the relationship between economic inequality and democracy. That is, when the redistributive policy weakened the degree of economic inequality, democracy Easier to achieve, and when redistributive policies are vetoed by the rich, it is likely to bring the danger of authoritarian rule.
