Abstract：Refining the theory of economic law liability marks a significant step toward the maturation of economic law as a discipline. However, academic research on this subject remains incomplete. Currently, two primary perspectives dominate the discourse on the existence of economic law liability: the “negation theory” and the “affirmation theory”. Both viewpoints overemphasize the distinction between economic law liability and other branches of legal liability while neglecting their interconnections. The lack of a dialectical perspective makes the theory of independence of economic law responsibility relatively limited. To achieve a rational understanding of economic law liability, its particularity should be explored based on recognizing its commonality with other legal liabilities. Through the approach of “seeking common ground while preserving differences”, its independence should be clarified while adhering to the research framework of “essential commonality—methodological innovation—categorical differentiation—independent liability”. Specifically, the first step is to explore the commonality of legal liability and clarify that the essence of all legal liabilities lies in the “detriment” that legal subjects must bear as a consequence of sanctions. Secondly, research methods should be innovated by discarding the traditional “liability-independence” analytical paradigm and reconstructing a new framework of “independence—subject—conduct—liability” to explore the particularity of the elements and classification of economic law liability. Finally, based on this new analytical paradigm and classification system, ambiguities between economic law liability and other branches of legal liability should be resolved, thereby establishing the independence of economic law liability and ensuring the self-sufficiency and self-consistency of the responsibility theory of economic law.
