保罗·巴兰和保罗·斯威齐的经济剩余概念及理论辨析

Analysis of the Concept and Theory of Economic Surplus by Paul Barran and Paul Sweezy

随着《垄断资本》的出版,针对该书的理论质疑随之而来,其理论核心的经济剩余当然也是受质疑的对象。一些学者认为巴兰和斯威齐用一个宽泛的经济剩余概念取代了马克思的剩余价值,是对马克思主义的修正,背离了马克思主义。对于这样一个概念及理论,在研究过程中首先要对基本概念搞清楚,对经济剩余概念进行明确辨析;其次需要厘清它与剩余价值的关系,这是对它客观评价的重要条件;最后必须客观评价经济剩余理论。只有这样对这个概念和理论来说才是公平的。

With the publication of"Monopoly Capital",the questions about its theories came along.As the core of the theory,economic surplus is also the object of doubt.Some scholars believed that Barran and Sweezy replaced Marx's surplus value with a broad concept of economic surplus,which was a revision of Marxism and a departure from it.For such a concept and theory,in the process of research,first of all,we should make clear the basic concept,the premise of research,which requires a clear discrimination of the concept of economic surplus.Secondly,it is necessary to clarify the relationship between economic surplus and surplus value,which is an important condition for its objective evaluation.Finally,the economic surplus theory must be objectively evaluated.Only in this way is it fair to this concept and theory.
