Study On Marx’s View Of Wealth And Its Contemporary Significance

Wealth appears with the birth of human society.Since the existence of human beings,there has been wealth in practical sense.Wealth is the primary condition for the survival and development of human beings,and also a necessary factor to promote social harmony and stability.With the development of wealth production practice,the wealth concept of human beings has been deepening,and the wealth concept in turn affects the wealth production practice of society.Reform and opening up is a great practice of wealth,and people’s view of wealth has undergone profound changes.At present,people’s view of wealth does not adapt to the practice of wealth production in the new era,and it needs to be guided fundamentally.Marx pointed out that wealth is essentially a "human" existence,but with the change of social history,the nature of capital profit make people pursuit of material wealth is beyond the normal range,wealth began to produce alienation,as an alien force on the opposite,wealth production practice deviated from the "human" target,wealth view have been distorted,Wealth has changed from a "human" perceptual reality to a "hostile" supersensory existence.In the face of this dilemma,we must take Marx’s wealth view as the benchmark,reconstruct the scientific wealth view from the perspective of people-oriented,and lead the modern wealth production practice better.The paper is divided into four parts,including the theoretical origin of the formation of Marx’s wealth view and the development process,focusing on the rich connotation of Marx’s wealth view,on this basis,further explore the positive significance of Marx’s wealth view to the current social wealth production and individual wealth practice.The first part is the introduction,which clarifies the background,purpose and significance of the article writing,which is the beginning and origin of the article writing.At the same time,it makes preparations for the in-depth analysis of Marx’s wealth view,including the domestic and foreign research status of Marx’s wealth view,as well as the research methods adopted in this paper.The second part elaborates the theoretical origin and formation process of Marx’s wealth view.Marx’s view of wealth is a scientific theory based on the in-depth analysis of capitalist mode of production,based on social practice and drawing on the theoretical achievements of predecessors.Its evolution process can be divided into three stages:initial embryonic form,basic formation and final maturity.The period from "Rheinische Zeitung" to "1844 Economics and Philosophy Manuscript" is the initial embryonic stage,from "Holy Family" to "Communist Manifesto" publication is the basic formation stage,the completion of "Das Kapital" marks the final maturity of Marx’s wealth view,wealth view is systematically and comprehensively reflected in it.The third part discusses the main content of Marx’s wealth view,including the source of wealth,the essence of wealth,the measure of wealth,the production of wealth and the distribution and consumption of wealth.Marx believed that wealth is initially generated by human needs and through human labor acting on nature.Nature is the direct source of wealth while labor is the fundamental power to create wealth.Therefore,wealth is the confirmation of human’s essential power and creative ability.Marx uses human labor and human development as the measurement standard of wealth in different periods.Wealth is in the cycle of production,distribution and consumption to exert its own power and promote social progress.The fourth part analyzes the contemporary significance and value of Marx’s concept of wealth from the perspective of social overall wealth production and social individual wealth practice.
