Foster's Idea Of “Capitalization Of Nature” And Practical Value

With the deterioration of ecological environment of capitalism and the rise of environmental movement,western scholars strive to put forward effective measures to remedy domestic environmental problems,such as Neoclassical environmental economists advocated“Capitalization of Nature” ——giving natural overmuch economic value and incorporating environment into the market system.John Bellamy Foster as a rising star of North American ecological Marxism,in his view,“Capitalization of Nature”is ecological myth of the limitlessness of the capital proliferation logic,which means under the domination of capital,it as “economic reductionism” leads to rifts of the metabolism between society and nature,we cannot rely on it to solve the ecological crisis.On the basis of Das Kapital,he added that the root of the ecological crisis is the capitalist system and its mode of production,he put forward that the only way to solve ecological crisis thoroughly was overthrow the capitalist system and establish the ecological socialism.“Capitalization of Nature”is a result about Foster dissected capitalism,providing theoretical guidance and action guide for understanding and analysis of the occurrence mechanism and resolution path of contemporary ecological crisis.In this paper,starting form social background and theoretical basis of Foster put forward “Capitalization of Nature”,elaborating on the origin?expression and essence of“Capitalization of Nature”and dissecting the theory innovating value and limitations of Foster's idea of“Capitalization of Nature”.Since the reform and opening up,Our country has made remarkable achievements,but also paid a high price——ecological destruction.Natural Capital innovates connotation of natural value,and establishes the focus and the way of natural protection,a new generation of the Communist Party of China with Xi Jinping at its core's idea of “Natural Capital” would be aimed at achieving economic growth,social civilization and sound ecosystem,which fundamentally different from the development model of Western Capitalism Countries' Capitalization of Nature.Therefore,learning from the pith from Foster's idea of“Capitalization of Nature”,base ourselves on China's national conditions and take advantage of the superiority of socialism to handle natural capital and market economy correctly,improve government institutions,coordinate interests and norms and build a socialist ecological civilization.
