资本积累:节欲、奢侈,还是劳动?——关于资本主义早期发展争论

Capital Accumulation:Abstinence,Luxury or Labor?——The Theoretical Controversy about the Early Stage of Capitalism

围绕资本积累和资本主义早期发展的关系所展开的论争主要有三种理论:节欲论、奢侈论和劳动论。这三种理论论证逻辑、学术立场、研究方法背后蕴含着关于现代性理解的差异。本文试图以马克思主义的立场,在分析、比较上述理论的基础上,尝试描绘一个较为全面和综合的关于资本主义早期发展理论的总体框架。

There are three theoretical forms of debate about the relationship between capital accumulation and the development of early capitalism: the theory of abstinence,the theory of luxury and the theory of labor. These three theories' logic of argument,academic position and research method embody the differences of their understanding of modernity. The purpose of this paper which reflects Marx's position is to analyze,compare and synthesize these theories,and further intends to propose a more comprehensive framework of the early capitalist development.
