韦伯是影响巨大的社会学家，曾注目于市场经济与价值观念之间关系的研究，并比较了西方基督教新教伦理与中国儒家伦理，认为前者因皈依上帝而崇奉“原罪”，信仰通过苦行节俭而赎罪的伦理，后者则相反，故西方发展了资本主义市场经济而中国则否。本文对此说进行了简单述评，认为韦氏虽陷入价值观念决定论，但充分注意到了市场经济要求节俭勤劳的精神“护甲”，有合理因素。当代中国的社会主义市场经济，也应发扬节俭勤劳精神。 Weber, a hugely influential sociologist, has focused on the study of the relationship between market economy and values ​​and compared the Protestant ethic of Western Christianity with Confucian ethics in China. He believes that the former worshiped “original sin” because of his conversion to God, and his belief in austerity through austerity The atonement ethics, the latter is the opposite, so the West developed a capitalist market economy while China is not. This article has made a simple commentary, saying that although Weber was trapped in the determinism of values, but fully aware of the market economy requires the spirit of saving the hard work “armor”, there are reasonable factors. In contemporary China’s socialist market economy, we should also carry forward the spirit of frugality and diligence.
