评析罗默的一般剥削理论

An Analysis of Roemer's Theory of General Exploitation

在罗默看来马克思的剥削理论已经过时,无法解释当代社会一些新的经济情况,因此他主张采用西方经济学方法对马克思的剥削理论进行重构。该理论代表了西方当代剥削理论发展的一个比较重要的方向,应该给予充分的重视。但是罗默的剥削理论在解释剥削问题时,自身也存在着难以克服的困难。本文对罗默所使用的方法论以及要用生产资料的不同所有权取代剥削的观点进行了简要的评析。

Roemer views that exploitation theory put forward by Marx is outmoded. It cannot be used to explain the new situation of contemporary society. He favors to reconstruct Marx＇s exploitation by employing western economic approaches. Ro- mer＇s theory represents an important concept of the western contemporary exploitation theory that should be given full attention- to. Roemer＇s exploitation theory itself is hard to explain the exploitation. In this paper, the writer gives a brief analysis to the methodology applied by Roemer and to his views of using different ownership of productive assets to take place of exploitation.
