启良同志的大作《古代中西方抑商问题的比较研究》(载《世界历史》1988年第3期),首次论述了我国史学界忽视的西方抑商史实,并与中国历史上的抑商现象进行了比较研究,读后颇受启发。但细读之余,又觉文中不无使人疑惑之处,特提出求教于启良同志和史学界同仁。 Comrade Qiliang’s masterpiece, “Comparative Study on Suppressing Business Problems in Ancient China and the West” (in “World History”, 1988, No.3), discusses for the first time the historical facts of the West neglected in the history of our country and contradicted the historical facts A comparative study of the phenomenon, after reading quite inspired. However, apart from reading, but also feel the text is not without confusing place, especially proposed to seek advice in the Comrade Qi Liang and historians colleagues.
