美国金融危机与马克思的经济危机理论

On the Economic Crisis of the US and Marxist Theory of Economic Crisis

经济危机理论是马克思主义政治经济学中一个不可或缺的组成部分,它对我们分析现实中的经济问题有着重要的指导和借鉴意义。经济危机的直观现象是商品卖不出去,对这个简单的现象,马克思从商品交换、两大生产部类间的交换、平均利润率下降等三个层次进行了深刻的理论分析。马克思在《资本论》中对经济危机的理论阐释遵循着一个内在的逻辑线索,即从抽象的商品内在矛盾到经济危机的现实爆发。研究马克思的经济危机理论,有助于我们分析当下的美国金融危机。

The theory of economic crisis is an indispensable part of Marxist political economy. It is significant in helping analyze and guiding practical economic problems. The direct manifestation of economic crisis is supply exceeding demand. Focusing on this simple phenomenon, Marx has made an thorough analysis on commodity exchange, exchange between the two major departments of social production, and decline of the average rate of profit. In the book of Capital Marx has interpreted an inner logical clue of economic crisis theory, i.e. the process from abstract internal contradietions of commodity to practical outburst of economic crisis. Therefore, to research into Marxist theory of economic crisis can help to obtain a better understanding of the current economic crisis.
