| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 財政學研究所 === 85 === From normative concept, we learn from 'The Constitution'(clause
144th) that how important the function and role the public
utility should play. They are different from the common goods
or services which run in the laissez-faire market system.
However, from positive concept, our government policy
actuallyhas put the public utility into the laissez-faire market
system step by step from early 1980's. The key point why our
government policy actually puts the public utility into the
laissez-faire market system gradually falls in the scholars.
Economics has been the leader for a long time in the field of
social science in Taiwan, but Taiwanese economists are complete
in the myth ofthe paradigm of neoclassical economics. Through
this paradigm, all governmentpolicies will be toward the same
goal -- economic growth. Like all living things which have
their own meanings, characters, features and functions will be
reified\monetized\commoditized through the laissez-faire market
system, there are no exceptions for the policy of public
utility being one of the government policies. From
normative concept, the theoretic fundation for the function and
role of the public utility should play constructed by
neoclassical economicsis a cyclical logic of no solution: public
utility (A point) -> natural monopoly -> market failure ->
inefficiency -> nationalization or regulation ->
government (B point) -> government failure ->inefficiency ->de-
nationalized (=privatized) or de-regulatied (=liberalized) ->
market ->public utility (C point). From the no solvable
cyclical logic, economists may change the policy of public
bytility randomly following his ownidealogy.When the idealogy
tends to strengthen the importance of the government,
they may select the theoretic fundation from A point to B point.
Identically, when the idealogy tends to reduce the importance of
the government, they may select thetheretic fundation
from B point to C point. Our government has selected the
theetic fundation from B point to C point and put the public
utility into thelaissez-faire market system gradually from
early 1980's. Just as the idea of neoclassical economics, the
paradigm of a theory must has the characters beyond time and
space. However, from the no solvable cyclical logic, we know
how false the theoretic fundation of the function and role
of public utility should playthat neoclassical economics
constructed , yet the economists in Taiwan cite this valueless
or even false theoretic function directly to become our polity
of public utility. Accordingto this deep realization, writer
give up the thought mode of individualism (atomism) and
allocation efficiency and try to develop a theoretic fundation
from holistism (institutionalism) and distribution whitch is
really beyond time and space. Hope to make public utility
match up his true function and role.
