ABSTRACT Andrew Sayer and Dave Elder-Vass are both advocates of ‘moral economy’. To this end, Elder-Vass offers a theory of appropriative practices that enables us to evaluate the enormous variety of forms of provisioning – market and non-market – that are actually found in the world. Andrew Sayer, in the view of the present author, has devoted himself to correcting a great historical error. The error has been trying to do radical political economy without explicitly proposing normatively superior alternatives that are based on objective ethics committed to meeting needs and diminishing suffering. There follow five suggestions regarding how to integrate moral economy with the views on emancipation expressed in early Bhaskar. Perhaps the most important of these suggestions is that to achieve emancipation, rather than over-emphasising relations of production, we should instead identify – in order to, if necessary, transform – the deep moral and legal structures that frame markets.

道德经济与解放

摘要Andrew Sayer和Dave Elder-Vass都是“道德经济”的拥护者。为此，Elder-Vass提供了一种专有做法的理论，使我们能够评估世界上实际存在的各种形式的供应-市场和非市场。在本作者看来，安德鲁·萨耶尔（Andrew Sayer）致力于纠正重大的历史错误。错误一直试图进行激进的政治经济学，而没有明确提出基于致力于满足需求和减少苦难的客观伦理学的规范性优越的替代方案。以下是关于如何将道德经济与早在巴斯卡（Bhaskar）中表达的解放思想相结合的五个建议。这些建议中最重要的也许就是要实现解放，
