马克思经济周期理论:一个现代阐释

A Modern Interpretation of Marx’s Theory of Business Cycle

马克思依据资本主义基本矛盾,分别从消费不足、比例失调及利润率趋于下降等角度,对资本主义经济周期进行了阐述。然而,引发资本主义经济周期的诸多原因中,既有制度因素,也有非制度因素。市场经济、社会主义及资本主义各有产生经济周期的因素。资本与劳动之间的对抗所引发的经济周期为资本主义所特有。本文试图从现代经济学视角,分析这种类型经济周期的产生及其运行机理,对马克思经济周期理论作一个现代阐释。

Marx expounded the capitalist business cycle from the angles of insufficient consumption, disproportion and digressive profit rate, which was based on the capitalist basic illogicality. However, there are not only institutional factors but also non-institutional ones among the factors leading to the capitalist business cycle. Market economy, socialist economy and capitalist economy are of respective causes bringing on business cycle. The business cycle by reason of the oppositional relationship between labor and capital is the inherent business cycle of capitalism. This article tries to analyze its coming into being and operation mechanism and give a modern interpretation to Marx’s theory of business cycle.
