The Theory Of Poverty In Das Kapital And Its Contemporary Value

The theory of poverty in Das Kapital originates from the rapid expansion of the capitalist mode of production and the rapid development of science and technology.It is also the result of Marx’s critical inheritance of the Utopian socialism and the poverty thought of classical political economy.The publication of the first volume of Das Kapital in 1867 marked the formation and development of Marx’s anti-poverty theory.In this great work,Marx made a specific study of the history and reality of human poverty,and analyzed the phenomenon of proletariat poverty in the capitalist world in detail,and constructed a set of ideas and methodology system against various forms of poverty.As a mature explanatory text of poverty theory,Capital embodies the main content of Marx’s poverty theory.In Das Kapital,Marx analyzed the types of proletarian poverty,including absolute poverty,relative poverty,material poverty and spiritual poverty,and revealed that private ownership of means of production is the deep root of proletarian poverty,capital and wage labor relations are the direct cause of proletarian poverty,and capital accumulation further deepens proletarian poverty.On this basis,"Capital" pointed out that in order to completely eliminate proletarian poverty,we must eliminate capitalist private ownership,vigorously develop the productive forces,reform the distribution mode.The poverty theory in Das Kapital provides an analytical method for the correct understanding of the poverty problem in the contemporary world,helps to deepen the understanding of the law of the development of the socialist economy and society with Chinese characteristics,and provides theoretical resources for the development of the new realm of Marxist political economy in contemporary China,so it has important theoretical significance.At the same time,this theory can guide us to achieve the goal of common prosperity,accelerate the process of international poverty reduction,and open up a path for the realization of human freedom and all-round development,which has very important practical value.In the process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,the thought of poverty in Das Kapital will continue to shine with undying brilliance.
