现代西方经济学者视角中的《资本论》

"Das Kapital" in the Perspective of Modern Western Economists

庞巴维克曾断言《资本论》的理论体系已经"终结",凯恩斯甚至认为《资本论》毫无价值,但现代西方经济学者对《资本论》并非持同样观点,他们中的很多学者对《资本论》或其第二卷的学术地位及其影响给予了很高评价,还有人认为《资本论》对于现代西方经济学多个研究领域或交叉学科产生重要影响,他们所编著的经济思想史著作都对《资本论》进行了介绍,有的现代西方经济学文献还通过引证《资本论》的相关内容来说明问题,而且他们中不少人对马克思写作《资本论》时严谨的学术态度给予了很高评价。现代西方经济学者对《资本论》持有这样的态度,其根本原因在于,马克思对资本主义的研究相比西方经济学者的影响更加深远。马克思的影响之所以能够更加深远,则在于他站得更高,看得更远。

Bohm- Bawerk has asserted that the theoretical system of ＂ Das Kapital＂ has ＂ ended＂, and Keynes even believes that ＂Das Kapital＂ is worthless, but modern Western economists do not share the same view of ＂Das Kapital＂. Many scholars have given a high evaluation of the academic status and its influence of ＂ Das Kapital ＂or its second volume. Some people think that Das Kapital has an important influence on many fields of study and interdisciplinary in modem western economics. ＂Das Kapital＂ was introduced in works on history of economic thought by these scholars. Some modern western economic literature even cited relevant content of ＂Das Kapital ＂to illustrate some problem. And many of these scholars gave a high appraisal of the rigorous academic attitude of Marx＇s writing ＂Das Kapital＂ , The fundamental reason why modern western econ- omists hold this attitude to ＂Das Kapital＂ is that Marx＇s research on capitalism is far more profound than that of western economists. The reason why Marx＇s influence was more far -reaching was that he stood higher and looked farther.
