摘　　要：利润最大化原则与经济可持续发展目标是相背离的,主要表现在以下四个方面:第一,利润最大化原则导致弱成本约束,成本约束服从并服务于利润最大化目标,其自身只具有工具价值。第二,利润最大化原则引致四种类型的经济扩张,即规模经济扩张、范围经济扩张、地域经济扩张以及经济帝国主义。第三,利润最大化原则纵容个体非理性,致使整个社会普遍漠视或回避社会整体理性的缺失。第四,利润最大化原则侵蚀全球整体主义价值观,妨碍人类在处理与应对全球危机时进行真诚的合作。The principle of profit maximization deviates from the objective of consistent economic development. The reasons are： first, the principle leads to weak cost constraints which are subject to and service the objective of profit maximization. They have only the value of tool by themselves. Second, the principle brings about four types of economic expansion, i.e., expansion of scale economy, expansion of scope economy, expansion of regional economy, and economic imperialism. Third, the principle acknowledges individual irrationality, which makes the whole society generally indifferent to or neglectful of the absence of ratio- nality of the society as a whole. Fourth, the principle erodes the value concept of the globe as a whole, setting obstacles for man＇ s sincere cooperation in dealing with global crisis.
