Modern market economy is the diversification of the economy , but also the complexity of the object -oriented economy , in which the object of diversification between the main body and complexity , there are a lot of economic relations , these are mostly economic relations between each other through a variety of contracts subject to keep going. Contract as a product of the modern market economy , a strong impetus to the development of the market economy and prosperity . Market economy respecting the law of value , maintain freedom of contract . However, blindly follow the law of value , will lead to market failure ; unrestrained freedom of contract or breach of ethical issues generated social public order and good morals . On a civilized and healthy society, widespread public awareness and moral self-discipline contract two equally important. If the contract is a hard constraint , then the moral is soft constraints . This will combine China 's related cases, from a moral perspective on contractual limitations and restrictions described.
First, the meaning of the contract
Is essentially a consensual contract , that the parties in a particular issue of will. To achieve this result , the contract three preconditions must be met : First , there must be two or more of the existence of the subject ; second , meaning that the subject must be able to make ; Third , the subject must be at a mean point agreement. Contract on the qualification requirements can be summarized in two aspects , namely equality of personality , freedom of the will . Equality of personality is different from the order contract , subject to the administration characterized by an important symbol , is an inherent requirement of the contractual relationship . Libertarian requires equality between people , libertarian includes the following aspects: freedom of contract , namely the freedom of contracting with others ; selection Parties freedom , namely freedom to decide with whom contracting , such as " anti-monopoly law , "" anti-Unfair Competition Law "and other , non- competitive behavior by the restrictions , to safeguard the right to freedom of choice ; determine the content of free contracting , that content of the contract by the parties decide freely ; freedom of choice Contracting way , that contract is not entered into is required in order to practice a certain way . Meanwhile, the contract also stressed the connotation : pacta sunt servanda , breach of contract responsibility . The older generation of jurists said: "The principle of private autonomy is an important part of freedom of contract principle, which is the basic principle of modern contract law , contract law in all of modern core of the system ." Contract Law in China also established freedom of contract principles .
This is the root of different contractual links between the main bond markets , with the market economy law and order attributes to meet the exchange of convenience, security , freedom, voluntariness and mutual benefit , justice and other needs , thus contributing to the rapid and large-scale market economy development . However, freedom of contract is not absolute freedom , in fact, freedom of contract and can not be absolutely free .
Second, the moral limitations of contract
Since the twentieth century, with the further development of the market economy , the economic status has obvious potential difference between traders , the contract law of the jungle is becoming a tool . We sometimes assume that when two people make a deal, the terms of their agreement must be fair. However, the fact is not so , the actual contracts are not self-sufficient moral tool that you and I do business the fact does not make the deal is fair. We emphasize the principle of freedom of contract in the process, often overlooked and ethics -related information. In some cases, the contract reached often produce many moral issues.
Compact is a useful tool for promoting productive activities , but may also corrode or destroy those ethics , therefore , we need to make the appropriate deed restrictions . Specific should include the following aspects: ( 1 ) to strengthen the contractual limitations on content that contract and the terms must not violate the laws, regulations and social public order and morals , shall not take advantage of and dominance through the format of the contract and the terms of the improper reduction of their responsibilities or increased relative responsibility ; ( 2 ) to strengthen restrictions on the form of contracts , involving people's vital interests or the public interest contract or agreement shall be authorized in writing , or require some special contract only become legally effective after registration , etc. ; ( 3 ) strengthen the deed of justice, freedom of contract to fix , that is, to strengthen the weak, the strong weakening of the right to freedom of contract , in order to compensate for their weakness in the economy strong difference , achieve an average justice. Government regulation and laws regulating the use of common moral regulation in a market economy contractual behavior , in order to maintain security and commodity trading arm ; ( 4 ) the state legislature to continue to improve laws and regulations, to make up for loopholes in the law so that the judiciary in the face of emerging market new situations and new problems to law. Based on individual contracts , and individual liberty will, but the socialist market economy is both a contract economy , but also moral economy . As Kant said : "We can not sacrifice good for one kind of another good" , ie, not for a legitimate interests at the expense of other legitimate interests . Only through moral self-discipline to improve people's moral realm , norms and regulate people's behavior in order to protect the real performance of the contract , it is consistent with one of the basic requirements of a civilized and healthy society .
