新冠疫情下美国社会矛盾加剧的深层原因透视——基于经济全球化发展视域的分析

The Deep-rooted Causes of the Intensified Social Contradictions in the United States under the Impact of the Covid-19 Epidemic——An Analysis Based on the Development of Economic Globalization

受新冠疫情的冲击,当前美国社会正面临日益严重的社会内部危机。从西方资本主义体系以及全球化进程中所固有的矛盾来分析,可以发现,资本全球流动的趋利性及其所带来的产业空心化与产能下降,货币资本化所导致的过度金融化和财富分配不公,以及资本主义框架下催生的白人“精英至上”文化价值观念和种族偏见,才是导致美国社会矛盾激化、国民情绪走向失控边缘的深层诱因。马克思、恩格斯曾经通过对资本主义发展及其本质的分析,揭示了全球化发生发展的历史规律。虽然当今世界已发生了巨大变化,但是资本主义矛盾的本质却不会改变,马克思、恩格斯所揭示的人类社会发展规律亦不会改变。

Affected by the Covid-19 epidemic,American society is currently facing an increasingly serious social crisis.Analyzed from the contradictions inherent in the US-led capitalist global system and its globalization process,the profit-seeking nature of the global capital flow and the hollowing out of the industry and the“bottleneck”of productivity brought about by it are caused by currency capitalization.The excessive financialization and the unfair distribution of wealth,as well as the“elite supremacy”cultural values and racial prejudice spawned under the framework of“self-interest”capitalism,are hidden under the appearance of the spread of the epidemic,the economic recession and the expansion of the anti-racial discrimination movement.It is the deep-rooted inducement that caused the American national emotion and social contradictions to run out of control.Marx and Engels once revealed the historical laws of the occurrence and development of globalization through the analysis of the development and nature of capitalism.Although the world today has undergone tremendous changes,the nature of capitalist contradictions will not change,nor will the law of human social development revealed by Marx and Engels.
