Outlines of Laozi's Economic Ethics Thought

Laozi provided a plenty of economic ethics thought in Tao Te Ching,but we must reinterpret it before we put it in modern market economy.In this paper,I will analyze Laozi′s economic ethics thought in the way of critical interpreta-tion and put forward several principles such as the principle of the Tao of heaven,the principle of no striving in distribution ethics,the honesty principle in exchangeable ethics,the temperance principle in consumption ethics and the moderation prin-ciple in development ethics.
