經濟社會學觀點下的「台灣奇蹟」：現象、重新概念化與另類可能

The Taiwan Economic “Miracle＂ from the Perspective of Economic Sociology: Phenomena, Reconceptualization and Alternative Interpretations

以最近出版的《未竟的奇蹟：轉型中的台灣經濟與社會》作為楔子，本文藉此檢視台灣經濟發展的各種概念與論點，並探索其與資本主義和經濟社會學的關係。本文首先指出本書的貢獻，並從現象、全書鋪陳，以及概念與理論層次來與本書切磋，之後則從「台灣經濟發展」的各種故事（論點）來定位本書導論章〈「台灣製造」的崛起與失落：台灣的經濟發展與經濟社會學〉的「未竟的奇蹟」之衰退論。本文接著提出另類觀點，借鏡調節學派對戰後西方資本主義「黃金時期」的研究成果發展出來的積累體制（accumulation regime）與調節模式（modes of regulation）的觀點來檢視這些故事，嘗試以「外包積累體制」與「純勞動調節模式」來掌握台灣經濟發展史的特徵，並指出本書各篇論文在這個觀點下的貢獻。最後，本文汲取經濟社會學晚近的「文化轉向」（the cultural turn）與「實作轉向」（the practical turn）的洞識來尋求超越調節學派之道。

After briefly reviewing the recently published Unfinished Miracle: Taiwan's Economy and Society in Transition, this paper presents different conceptions and stories of Taiwan's economic development and recapitulates it as capitalist development. Enlightened by the regulation school, informed by the golden age of capitalism from the end of World War II to the 1970s, this paper employs the concepts of the “subcontracting accumulation regime” and “labor-only modes of regulation” to grasp the development of capitalism in Taiwan. The contributions of the essays collected in Unfinished Miracle: Taiwan's Economy and Society in Transition are then highlighted anew. It is recommended to learn from the cultural turn and the practical turn of economic sociology to go beyond the heritage of the regulation school.
