福山的经济文化观是他“社会信任”理论的有机组成部分。这一理论从国家、社会间在经济组织方式、企业管理特点上的差异入手,向上追溯了它的文化成因,向下指出了对于国家在新时期进行世界性经济政治竞争的影响。考虑到靠国家推行“社会工程”本身的弊端,一个国家的文化决定了一个国家的命运。福山的观点虽有很多可商榷之处,但它确实能推动我们进一步去反思我们的现代化战略取向。 Fukuyama’s economic and cultural outlook is an integral part of his theory of “social trust.” This theory begins with the differences between the state and society in the economic organization and the characteristics of the enterprise management. It traces its cultural origins upwards and points down the influence on the country’s global economic and political competition in the new period. Considering the drawbacks of implementing “social engineering” by the state itself, the culture of a country determines the fate of a country. Fukuyama’s point of view is quite open to debate, but it does propel us further to reflect on our modern strategic orientation.
