开放还是收缩:资本主义的困境及其逻辑悖论

Openness or Contraction:The Dilemma of Capitalism and Its Logical Paradox

深入研究资本主义的未来发展始终是一项重要课题。资本的逻辑在于剩余价值的绝对积累,在自身膨胀的过程中,增殖本性使资本不再满足于国内市场,资本主义近四百年在全球范围内全方位、全领域的扩张表现出的是强烈的开放需求。但在当下,随着社会主义中国的崛起和西方资本主义发展日益疲软,以美国为首的资本主义国家开始呈现出多重收缩趋势。可以说,资本主义正面临自身困境和逻辑悖论:继续保持开放还是适度乃至大幅收缩。这就意味着以欧美为首的金融资本主导下的全球化正在走向其对立面,是继续维持原有样态还是转为全球性收缩,资本主义的发展陷入难以摆脱的逻辑悖论。

An in-depth study of the future of capitalism has always been an important subject.The logic of capital lies in the absolute accumulation of surplus value.In the process of power expansion,its proliferativenature makes capital no longer satisfied with the domestic market,and the global expansion of capitalism in all directions and fields in the past fourhundred years has shown a strong need for openness.But at the present time,with the rise of socialist China and the increasingly weak developmentof Western capitalism,the capitalist countries,led by the United States,are beginning to show multiple trends of contraction.It can be said thatcapitalism is facing its own dilemma and logical paradox:to remain open or to contract moderately or even significantly.This means globalisation under the domination of financial capital led by Europe and the U.S.is moving towards its opposite.The development of capitalism is caught in aninescapable logical paradox,namely whether it should continue in its original form or turn into a global contraction.This will be a great test for socialist China as well.
