美国是一个信奉市场经济的国家,在这样一个国家里金钱就成为“万能”的。所谓万能,是指有钱可以买到一切产品,获得一切享受;它反面的意思是没有钱什么事也办不成,甚至于活不下去。在非市场经济的社会中情况是不同的,在那里许多享受的分配不全是靠钱。没有钱的话,自己耕作也能维持生存,金钱不是万能的。不过在严格的意义上说,在美国金钱也并不是万能的。譬如,不可以买卖人口,不能以钱赎罪、行贿。所以有必要正确地了解在美国这样的市场经济中,金钱万能到什么程度,这种“万能”性有什么意义。
The United States is a country that believes in a market economy. In such a country, money becomes “universal”. The so-called omnipotent means that you can buy everything with the money and enjoy everything. The opposite means that you can not do anything without money or even survive. The situation is different in non-market economy societies, where much of the enjoyment of the under-distribution is by money. If you have no money, you can survive by farming yourself. Money is not everything. However, in the strict sense, money in the United States is not a panacea. For example, you can not buy and sell your population. You can not atone for money or bribe money. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly understand the extent to which money is universally applicable in a market economy like the United States. What is the meaning of this “universal” nature?
