论黑格尔自由生活与世界历史进程思想

黑格尔把自由理解为相互承认的自由,其客观化的产物即国家制度和法律.自由在现代国家制度和法律之中得到了完全的普遍实现,而这是历史进程的产物.世界历史进程就是自由生活的实现过程.但在马克思、恩格斯看来,黑格尔对世界历史进程的这一看法有着很大的局限.他们在批评黑格尔的基础上更深入地探讨了世界历史进程与自由生活的实现之间的关系.     

The potential impact of introducing a social security system in the State of Palestine: A computable general equilibrium approach

This article assesses the potential impact for the State of Palestine (West Bank and Gaza) of enforcing the enactment of the currently suspended Social Security Law (No. 19 of 2016). Using a computable general equilibrium model, we simulate different scenarios associated with the enactment of the social security system on key macroeconomic variables, such as GDP, private consumption, government spending, investment and employment, for the period 2020–2030. We evaluate the influence on the economy of introducing a social security system for private-sector workers, as set out in the 2016 law, and compare the simulation results of each scenario to the baseline. In each scenario, we consider different options concerning severance payment duration and different options for the investment strategy of social security contributions. However, for employees in Gaza, the article does not consider severance payments due to economic difficulties and the Israeli closure policy.
