From The Economic Crisis To The Ecological Crisis

In recent years, from the Kyoto Protocol to the climate conference in Copenhagen and then to Cancun meeting of the carbon emissions, ecological problems have gradually become the focus of world concern. At the same time, the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis caused by the global economic crisis and the European countries’ sovereign debt crisis today, show that Marx’s capitalist economic crisis theory still reveals the fresh vitality. This paper attempts to schools of ecological crisis thinking of Ecological Marxism as the theoretical platform, and then through the analysis point of view of different Ecological Marxism scholars to sort out the inherent correlation of the economic crisis and ecological crisis, and eventually come to the ecological and economic crisis are rooted in the conclusion of the capitalist system itself. The paper is divided into the following three parts:The first part on the theory of the ecological crisis in the history of embryology research, background and analysis of the theoretical origins of the theory of the ecological crisis, the formation of a complete understanding of the ecological crisis theory; The second part of the economic crisis and ecological crisis in the path of the internal integration of ecological Marxism comb. Different ecological Marxist theory of classical Marxism the economic crisis mainly contains two different points of view:the former represented by Ben Agger from the perspective of bourgeois exploitation pattern and the transformation of the proletariat, he argued that the economic crisis is no longer The basic contradiction of capitalist society, the basic contradictions of real ecological crisis. That the economic crisis theory is outdated, use the ecological crisis theory replaced; the latter that is consistent with the theoretical essence of the economic crisis and ecological crisis, which is the most ecological Marxist point of view. For example, Andre Gorz that the theory of economic crisis is not outdated, and through the "economic rationality" and "ecological rationality" to prove the concept of the economic crisis and ecological crisis is rooted in the expansion of capital nature. Ecological Marxist path is different, but the general theory of vision is the same, namely, by way of building a eco-socialism to fundamentally solve the ecological crisis;The third part of the ecological crisis theory summarized and evaluated, and on this basis to draw the inspiration of the theory of the ecological crisis of contemporary China’s social development. The theory of ecological crisis reveals the anti-ecological nature of the capitalist system, adhere to and depart from Marxism reflects the carry forward of classical Marxism and transformation of its eco-socialist idea has a certain fantasy. For the development of contemporary Chinese society, both use the "scientific concept of development to overcome the capital expansion, but also eco-colonialism, self-reliance and cooperation internally and externally response to ecological theory and to build with Chinese characteristics.
