A Career Full of Concerns-XU Zhong-yu's Academic Spirit Xuan WU 2003, 35 (5):  11-16.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.05.003 Abstract ( 57 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (732KB) ( 0 )   Save Among our nation's famous scholars engaging in humanities, the most attractive of their academic spirits is XU Zhong-yu's "awareness of concern", a kind of Confucian spirit that has a strong demand to get involved in reality. For XU Zhong-yu, this awareness is a humane complex all along his life instead of a changing fashion. Accordingly, it finds expressions in his striking consciousness of problems, critical attitude, independent personality, and practice to get through a line of demarcation between disciplines.

"The Capitalist Production Is Hostile to Some Spiritual Production Departments"——A Consideration on One of Karl Marx' Statements Xiao-guang LU 2003, 35 (5):  28-34.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.05.006 Abstract ( 67 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (922KB) ( 0 )   Save According to Marx, capitalism is hostile to some spiritual production. What he says is not only referred to one single incident of vanishing of ancient Greek epics, but a profound statement touching on the cultural contradictions of capitalism. This statement implies that the capitalist production is hostile to the poetic art, to the labor art that creates something according to the law of beauty, and to the non-profit social ethical spirit. The modernity and contemporaneity of these issues can be confirmed by some relevant arguments advanced by Max Weber and Daniel Bell, both of whom are non-Marxist scholars. Marx regards capitalism as an inevitable stage of historical progress, and meanwhile criticizes the negative side of such progress, expressing his expectation and pursuit of a balanced development of material production and spiritual production.

The crisis has existed for a long time. Towards this problem, the attitudes of main countries in the area are quite different. The position of the U. S. Bush administration is also quite different from that of the Clinton administration. The Bush administration already made its fundamental policy to the issue during the Iraq War. South Korea sticks to its position of peacefully dealing with the crisis, and is not necessarily at odds with tough means at a pinch. Japan stands for adopting a tough policy for the crisis. The Chinese government maintains multilateral talks to resolve the crisis peacefully. The world is paying close attention to the situational development. References | Related Articles | Metrics

An Analysis of Transitive Paths of Russia's System Jun-fu HUANG 2003, 35 (5):  42-48.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.05.008 Abstract ( 58 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (937KB) ( 0 )   Save With regard to the choice of Russia's institutional transitive paths, there are two opposite views prevailing in international academic circles. According to the first view, after independence of Russian society its choice of institutional transitive paths was authoritarian. And the other argues that Russia selected a Western democratic representative system shortly after its independence. In fact, the path choice of Russia's system transition is neither authoritarianism nor representative democracy, but commissioned democracy, a unique political system intermediating between the both. It carries on a non-democratic mode of strenthening power from the former, and inherits free competitive election from the latter. Such a distinct system is our ground to judge a future tendency of Russia's domestic and foreign policies, and also the starting point of the new path dependence for Russia's social transition.

Humanity Education and University Xiao-hong LIU 2003, 35 (5):  49-57.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.05.009 Abstract ( 61 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (1028KB) ( 0 )   Save Both science and humanity are two indispensable aspects of human reason. In the development from modern times on, however, scientific reason has a gradual tendency to lord it over and reject human cultural reason, which can be seen clearly in developments of higher education. The humanity education is not a kind of knowledge education of humanities, but also education of cultural spirits. There are historical grounds for the position change of knowledge education of humanities in college education, but a shortage of cultural spiritual education is indeed a symptom of deficiency in the university concept. It is helpful to close the separating trend in education of science and humanity and to rectify the university concept and orientation if we draw on the educational concept of universal persons and its relevant theories at the same time when we continue to develop professional education.

A Second Exploration of Causation of the U. S. Multi-culture Zhi-sen YU 2003, 35 (5):  63-70.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.05.011 Abstract ( 57 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (1084KB) ( 1 )   Save From a historical view, the development of American multi-culture results in struggles for liberty and equality waged by the American people of all races and ethnics. The Independence War was a war not only for the colonial people's right of survival but also for equality among mainland minorities. The Civil War meant a battle of American peoples for the Black's rights of living and liberty, so that it encouraged the Indians and American women striving for their votes. Then World War II and the civil rights movement in 1960's promoted the formation of multi-culture characterized by "harmony but not sameness". Such struggles are characteristic of common fights and interactions of all the nationalities and are closely related to the course of multiple global civilizations as well.

The Way out for Transition and Predicament——A Study on the American "Progressive Movement" Chun-lai WANG 2003, 35 (5):  71-78, 86.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.05.012 Abstract ( 53 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (1305KB) ( 1 )   Save The America's profound socio-economic changes and transformations in the late 19th and early 20 thcenturies led to the rise of the so-called Progressive Movement, whose advocates and supporters came from major American social classes and groups. Common senses of social responsibility and anx-iousness tied those progressive reformers together, and made them dedicated to their cause. As both a successor to and a pillar of the liberal tradition in American history, the Progressive Movement contributed a lot though it borrowed much from all kinds of social reform practice. Due to the complexity of then American society in transition, the story of Progressivism contains many paradoxes that need examining thoroughly. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The U. S. Political Expansion Viewed from Wilson's Thought of National Self-determination Lan ZHANG 2003, 35 (5):  87-91.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.05.014 Abstract ( 46 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (767KB) ( 2 )   Save The principle of national self-determination, first seen in the Philippine policy of the Wilson Administration and taking shape in the period of American interference with the Mexican revolution, was put forth officially in 1917. It was an outcome of the diplomacy of new democracy initiated by the United States in order to realize its transition from extensive territorial expansion to intensive politico-economical expansion. The Wilson Administration failed to settle the postwar colonial issue in an attempt to expand the U. S. political system with a help of the principle of national self-determination. Facts proved that the national self-determination was an extension of Monroeism to meet with the need of American political expansion in the early twentieth century.

A Study of Banking Competition Based on Asymmetric Information LI XU, Hong-min CHEN 2003, 35 (5):  92-100.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.05.015 Abstract ( 39 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (1135KB) ( 0 )   Save Based on a combination of the lending model and the Hotelling model, this paper makes an analysis of the two essential features of a credit market that have effects on competitions between commercial banks. First, customers have their different preferences to a bank location. Secondly, the severity of asymmetric information between banks and customers makes banks face more uncertainty. To reduce this uncertainty, the bank uses credit-worthiness tests so as to get information about its customers. Meanwhile, to make sure the quality of a credit-worthiness test, the bank has to bear investments in information acquisition. The equilibrium outcome shows that the bank may choose a maximal differentiation stragegy if it is sufficiently pessimistic about the credit-worthiness of its customers and its ability of information acquisition is limited.

A Theoretical Study on Monetary Policy Effectiveness in Information Economy Ya-xin LI 2003, 35 (5):  101-105.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.05.016 Abstract ( 86 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (621KB) ( 0 )   Save With the coming of information age, the gradual improvement in information-processing capabilities and the demand reduction in money base are questioning the monetary policy effectiveness and the ability of the central bank to influence the financial market. In fact, the monetary transmission mechanism and the central bank's approach to the influence on whole economy have changed in the age of information economy. The expectation management or expectation channel will play an important role in carrying out an effective monetary policy, not merely controlling the money base. The demand reduction in money base can not impair the central bank's ability fundamentally, but the way to its stabilization objectives has changed into a channel system for controlling overnight interest rates.

The Relative Drop of Labor Cost and the Fall of Price in Recent China Jian-hua XU, Cheng-ming CHEN 2003, 35 (5):  106-110.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.05.017 Abstract ( 50 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (535KB) ( 0 )   Save During the period from 1997 to the end of 2002 the retail price index in China declined continuously for 60 months, and meanwhile China's macro-economy maintained a high-speed and high-quality growth. As a result, the current fall of prices has shown some new characteristics different from those in the past. Although the dominant explanations of reasons for the fall given by economists and government officials are quite persuasive, they are insufficient to explain those new characteristics. Experiences and concrete researches show that a relative drop of labor cost in our country's secondary and tertiary industries in recent years has made prices drop mildly and continuously on the one hand, and has greatly accelerated the growth of aggregate economy on the other hand.

A Successful Pattern of Low Cost Competitive Strategies You-qi CHEN 2003, 35 (5):  111-113.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2003.05.018 Abstract ( 47 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (553KB) ( 0 )   Save One of the most frequendy used patterns in business competitions is to occupy a market and atrract its customers at low prices. The strategies of such a successful pattern include: achieving success by a low cost advantage in resources, by a cost advantage in divisional management, by a cost advantage in value chain management, and by innovations in a business process. The successful experience of these companies such as Biyadi, Galanz, Wal-Mart and Dell, which adopt the four strategies respectively, may provide a lot of enlightenment for our country's enterprises.
