Abstract:Trade autonomy is the inherent attribute of trade associations. For country or other equal subjects, trade associations are entitled with the right of autonomy, which is a way of achieving individual rights in groups. For members in the trade association, autonomy is the right for trade associations, which falls into the category of public power. The essence of trade autonomy is the autonomy of communities, which accord with the interest element, organization element, and operation system of community autonomy. In philosophy of law, the basis of trade autonomy lies in the belief that “individual will is the highest”, and depends on the independent spirit of the trade association and the high specialization of the affairs of the trade association. The separation between the state and the society determines they should perform their respective duties. The state cannot interfere with anything that the trade association can handle on its own. Trade autonomy is the product of the binary opposition between the state and the society.
