SAE Political Economy · Paper 0: Political Economy and the Tradition: Accumulated Power / SAE 政治经济学 Paper 0: 政治经济学与传统:积累的权力

The Prequel and the six papers of this series have been written. What they ask is how the capital, fame, status and qualifications that people accumulate in the Emergence Layer become, in others' decisions, power acting on others, and what direction an institution takes toward it. The answer is gathered into one main line: toward accumulated power, an institution does not aim at reducing it, but checks how it is used: it holds to anti-colonization and strives for cultivation; accumulation is not converted into domination over people's Base Layer, nor into control over questioning; the arrangements that check it are themselves open to questioning. This paper lays down no propositions, and changes no sentence of the seven papers. It does four things. First it steps outside the seven papers and has this machine give an account of itself: what it asks and what it does not ask; how its sentence form and its three layers are arranged; how it divides the work with the Economics series, Institution Theory and the Theory of Government; and why it is not the same thing as the value theory of classical political economy. Then it interfaces with the tradition, at two depths. With the schools whose originals have been examined, all four steps are taken: Smith, Kant, Marx, Hayek, Friedman and Khan, with Hirschman taken by way of page numbers already examined; with the schools reached only through secondary material, it goes as far as the common question and the surface of contact, and writes up the question that stays open until the original has been examined: Hegel, Polanyi, Thompson, Berle and Means, Coase, Galbraith, Anderson, Nozick, Walzer, Sandel, Frankfurt, Piketty and Robeyns. Among the differences, several fall on two lines: whether checks fall on holding and distribution, or on use and conversion; whether the boundary comes from efficiency, knowledge or the public interest, or from structure and from a person's own direction; on which side the schools reached only through secondary material fall is settled once the original books have been examined. At one point, with Kant, this paper says outright that it parts from him here: he takes economic independence as a condition of active citizenship, and this series does not take this up; eligibility to vote lies in the Base Layer, is to be secured, and does not change with standing in the Emergence Layer. Next it settles accounts: how the three items expressly handed on from upstream are discharged, and the several addresses handed downstream. Last, it registers in six slots the places where this series stops; the two items of one of those slots came clear only against the schools. 这个系列的前置篇与六篇已经写完。它们问的是:人在涌现层积累起来的资本、名声、地位与资质,怎样在别人的决定里成为作用于他人的权力,制度对它取什么方向。答案收成一句主线:对积累起来的权力,制度不以减少它为目的,而是制衡它怎样使用;坚持反殖民,争取涵育;积累不兑换为对人的基础层的支配,也不兑换为对追问的控制;制衡它的安排,自己也可被追问。本篇不立命题,也不改动七篇的任何一句。它做四件事。先站到七篇之外,把这台机器自陈一遍:它问什么、不问什么,句式与三层怎样排,与经济学系列、制度论、政府论怎样分工,又为什么与古典政治经济学的价值论不是一回事。再与传统对接,分两种深度:原文核到的几家,四步走完:斯密、康德、马克思、哈耶克、弗里德曼、可汗,赫希曼转据已核的页码;只到二手材料的几家,走到共同的问题与接触面为止,写成原文核到以前留着的一问:黑格尔、波兰尼、汤普森、伯利与米恩斯、科斯、加尔布雷斯、安德森、诺齐克、沃尔泽、桑德尔、法兰克福、皮凯蒂、罗宾斯。差异里有几处落在两条线上:制衡落在持有与分配上,还是落在使用与兑换上;边界从效率、知识或公共的利益来,还是从结构与人自己的方向来;只到二手材料的几家落在哪一边,原书核到再定。与康德一处,本篇明说在这里离开他:他以经济上的独立作主动公民的条件,本系列不取;投票的资格在基础层,要保障,不因涌现层的地位而改变。然后结账:上游明交的三笔怎样兑现,交给下游的几处地址。最后分六格,登记本系列停下的地方;其中一格的两项,是对照各家才看清的。 Related works Relation Identifier Scheme Resource type Title References 10.5281/zenodo.19328662 DOI Publication / Preprint How Is Institution Possible: From Inter-Ontological Remainder to Co-Constructive Framework (SAE Foundational Paper 6) References 10.5281/zenodo.19358010 DOI Publication / Preprint Four Layers of Economic Rationality: A Diagnostic Extension of the Rational Agent from Dimensional Sequence Theory (SAE Economics, Paper 1) References 10.5281/zenodo.19384446 DOI Publication / Preprint Dimensional Sequence Economics in Mixed Markets: Remote Observation, Clustering, and Emergence (SAE Economics, Paper 3) References 10.5281/zenodo.19394738 DOI Publication / Preprint The Structural Inevitability of 15DD Emergence in Free Markets: From Baseline Collisions to Perceptual Leap (SAE Economics, Paper 5) References 10.5281/zenodo.19396633 DOI Publication / Preprint Kingdom of Ends vs Kingdom of Means: Phase-Transition Acceleration in the Age of AI (SAE Economics, Paper 6) References 10.5281/zenodo.20046168 DOI Publication / Preprint The Reputation Economy · Dao (SAE Moral Law, Paper 3) References 10.5281/zenodo.20368866 DOI Publication / Preprint What Power Is Not · Shi (SAE Power Theory, Prequel) References 10.5281/zenodo.20769253 DOI Publication / Preprint On the Thickness and Boundary of Basic Rights (SAE Rights Theory, Paper 2) References 10.5281/zenodo.21093939 DOI Publication / Preprint The Interface and Transformation between Recognition-Based Rights and Power (SAE Rights Theory, Paper 4) References 10.5281/zenodo.21212595 DOI Publication / Preprint On the Limitation and Violation of Basic Rights (SAE Rights Theory, Paper 5) References 10.5281/zenodo.22974154 DOI Publication / Preprint The Place of Judgment (SAE Action Theory, Paper 0) References 10.5281/zenodo.23269635 DOI Publication / Preprint To Whom the Ought Is Addressed (SAE Institution Theory, Paper 1) References 10.5281/zenodo.23270384 DOI Publication / Preprint Not Crossing the Line (SAE Institution Theory, Paper 2) References 10.5281/zenodo.23272468 DOI Publication / Preprint Institution Theory and the Tradition: The Address of the Ought (SAE Institution Theory, Paper 0) References 10.5281/zenodo.23413112 DOI Publication / Preprint Guarantee (SAE Theory of Government, Paper 3) References 10.5281/zenodo.23413511 DOI Publication / Preprint Questioning and Bearing (SAE Theory of Government, Paper 6) References 10.5281/zenodo.23815796 DOI Publication / Preprint The Close (SAE Theory of Inter-State Cooperation, Paper 8)
