Research On Marx's Poverty Theory And Its Contemporary Value

The poverty phenomenon in human society has been existed since ancient times.Before the birth of Marx's poverty theory,the utopian socialists represented by Saint Simon,Erwin and Fourier had discussed the issue of poverty in varying degrees.Constrained by the historical limitations of class view and productivity and the production methods,utopian socialists try to explore ways and means of building a fair and rational new society by attacking the violation of rational principles in the process of capitalist production from an improved perspective.Although the description and summary of the early capitalistic society poverty phenomenon in these viewpoints are more detailed,it ignores the essential research on poverty.Marx carried out an in-depth study of the theoretical viewpoints of utopian socialists and inherited the outstanding essence of them on the basis of criticism.He combined them with the deep understanding and scientific analysis of the poverty problem in the capitalist society and founded a complete theoretical system of poverty.He elaborated on the generation and eradication of proletarian poverty from the basic realities of capitalism and relations of production and founded the poverty theory based on the idea of impoverishment of the proletariat.Marx summarized the absolute poverty and relative poverty of the working class in the development of the capitalist system to form a unified understanding of the law of the impoverishment of the proletariat.He profoundly analyzed the impoverishment of the proletariat that has always existed under the capitalist system and finally pointed out that the fundamental way to completely eradicate proletarian poverty is to eliminate private ownership.Marx's analysis of the impoverishment of the proletariat and its tendency is about the deepest theoretical understanding of the poverty issue under the capitalist system and the scientific conclusion based on the analysis of the nature of capitalism,which provides important theoretical guidance for us to understand the nature of contemporary capitalist society.With the development of the times,the problem of poverty in contemporary capitalist society and its appearance have been different from the context in which Marx studied and researched in the past,but the research methods of dialectical materialism and historical materialism that he used are always scientific.Moreover,the basic principles of Marx's poverty theory have not changed.In western capitalist developed countries,the problem of the impoverishment of the working class is still a common and urgent problem that needs to be solved in different countries and regions.In the process of achieving the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way and resolving poverty,we have gradually experienced a transformation from perceptual to rational and a paradigm shift from singleness to precision on the cognitive level.From Institutional Solution to Deeper Productivity to Explore Poverty Solutions,the essence behind the shift in the mode of thinking is the internal embodiment of the combination of Marx' s poverty theory and China' s national conditions.Understanding the core connotation of Marx' s poverty theory will help deepen our understanding of China' s social poverty issues,relying on the innovation of theoretical results to provide important theoretical support for the construction of the new“sharing”development model,to drive innovation in practice,to solve the problem of poverty in the primary stage of socialism more fully and in a balanced way,which further highlights the value of the times embodied in Marx's theoretical character.
