基于社会性存在的贫困概念剖析

The Concept of Poverty Analysis Based on Social Existence

贫困的出现经历了一个从无到有、从善到恶的动态演进过程。与此相对应,在对其根源进行追溯时,同样需要从历史、经济和人文的角度去进行探查。贫困不仅是经济学意义上的资源与财富的匮乏,更是主观心理感受、人类社会结构、功能和机制不健全的产物。贫困是经济框架下的社会性存在。从这一概念出发,才可以内窥到通过经济发展的手段来反贫困时,社会是如何通过潜在力量来推动或阻滞其进程的。同时,社会内在的文化特质也为贫困问题的解决提供了多样性选择的可能。

The emergence of poverty has experienced a dynamic evolution from nothing to existence, from good to evil. Correspondingly, when its originwas traced, whichshould be explored from the perspective of history, economy and humanity. Poverty is not only the scarcity of resources and wealth in the economic sense, but also the result of imperfect subjective psychological feeling, human social structure, function and mechanism. This paper holds that poverty is a social existence under the economic framework. Based on this concept, we can have an insight into how society can promote or block the progress of anti-poverty through the means of economic development. At the same time, the inherent cultural characteristics of the society also provide the possibility of diversified choices for the solution of poverty problems.
