从马克思主义视角透视危机:或许为我们指明了另一条道路

Looking at the Crisis through Marx:Or Is It the Other Way about?

主流经济学家至多将低效率的、功能紊乱的、寄生性的市场视作腐败、市场调节不完美及其不完美的制度和规则的某种混合体。马克思提供了关于资本主义金融体系的本质以及它如何与资本主义整体功能相关联的复杂而精确的独特理解,本文的目的是给出马克思的研究方法及其与当前环境的关联性的简单说明——金融化既解释了过去三十多年增长的放缓,也解释了危机根源于住房问题,以及国家的控制和干预无法克服危机的原因。

At best,the mainstream sees inefficient,dysfunctional and parasitical markets as some combination of corruption,imperfect coordination of markets,and their imperfect institutions and regulation. Marx offers a particularly sophisticated understanding of the nature of the capitalist financial system,and how it relates to the functioning of capitalism as a whole.The purpose here is to give a brief account of his approach and of its relevance for current circumstances with financialisation explaining both the slowdown of growth over the last thirty years or more,and why the crisis should be able to originate within housing and not be amenable to state control and intervention.
