本文是對威廉﹒雷迪(WilliamReddy) ，«市場文化之喊起))(The Rise of Market Culture) (1984)的評論。全文分別提出:全書大姜、主要論點、貢獻、批詩及對本土研究的啟示。本文作者認為雷迪以社會史的角度來處理政治經濟學範時，有十分傑出的貢獻。最具體的例子就是對報酬制度的分析，細緻地掌握了勞動者的階經經驗:所販賣的采西逐漸由生產出來的成品轉變成勞動(effort)，再轉變為勞動力。

This paper is a criticism of William Reddy (1984) The Rise of Market Culture. Itpresents the synopsis of the book， its main argument， its contri· butions， and its significance for the local studies. A study on social his· tory， this book deciphers the social and the cultural meanings of the cate· gories of political economy. Itstreatment of the implication of the evolu· tion of the payment system is excellent. What is sold by the French spin· ners and weavers: products， labor， or labor power? Some disagreements with Reddy's explanation are presented.
