浅析赖特的中间阶级理论

A Research on Wright's Theory of the Middle-Class

随着资本主义国家工业化的进程,资本主义的阶级状况发生了巨大的变化,出现了一大批以专业管理人员和专业技术人员为代表的"新兴的中间阶级"。西方马克思主义者加强了对当代资本主义社会阶级结构的研究,形成了各种主张各异的阶级理论流派,向马克思主义的阶级理论提出了挑战。埃里克·欧林·赖特积极回应这些挑战,提出新兴的中间阶级处于"阶级关系内的矛盾定位"这一理论,丰富和发展了马克思主义的阶级理论,对马克思主义阶级理论在当代资本主义社会遭遇的困境作了富有洞见的分析。研究赖特的中间阶级理论具有重要的理论意义和现实意义。

The class condition of capitalism changes tremendously along with the capitalist industrialization process, followed by a large number of professional management staff and technical staff, who are known as the emerging ＂Middle-class＂. The western Marxists strengthen the study on the class structure and form variety theories of the middle-class which challenge the Marxism＇s class theory. Eric Olin Wright responds actively to the challenge. He puts forward the theory that the emerging middle-class is the contradictory orientation within class relations, which enriches and develops the Marxist theory of class. It is an insightful analysis, which effectively responds to the challenge about Marxism class theory in modem capitalist society. Research on Wright＇s theory of the middle-class has important theoretical and practical significance.
