马克思与皮凯蒂分配思想之比较

Comparison of Distribution Thought between Marx and Piketty

面对资本主义分配不平等,马克思指出资本主义剩余价值的生产决定了追逐利润最大化的剩余价值的分配,这一分配会造成社会两极分化;皮凯蒂指出资本收益率大于经济增长率造成社会收入分配不平等。两者同样强调资本在分配中的作用,但对"资本"的分析,资本收入与劳动收入的关系,分配与其他经济活动关系的探讨存在比较明显的差异。

Faced with the distributive inequality of capitalism,Marx pointed out that the surplus value productionin Capitalism determines the distribution of surplus value formaximum profits,further resulting in social polarization;Piketty explained that the greater rate of return on capital than that of economic growth results in the unequal distribution of social income.They both emphasize the role of capital in distribution,but there are obvious differences in their analysis of"capital",of the relationship between capital income and labor income,and of the relationship between distribution and other economic activities.
