The "world-ecology" reveals that the rapid growth of the capitalist world economy is not only rooted in two processes in the history of the capitalist world,on the one hand,due to the unrestricted accumulation and profit-making characteristics of the capitalist economy,it has a negative impact on the outside world of capitalism.Naturally,unreasonable demands of unlimited grabs are produced.On the other hand,in order to maintain the stability and illegal status of the capitalist world economic structure,in order to ensure the prosperity and monopoly of the core region;"World-Ecology" is composed of three parts: "World","Ecology" and "-".From the perspective of ecological philosophy,Jason W.Moore revealed how the life network was conquered by violent and destructive means under the rule of capitalism,and gradually reduced to cheap "things." "Inexpensive" represents the mechanism through which the entire capitalist ecosystem can proceed smoothly,that is,treating both human and nature as unpaid cheap goods.This mechanism “cheapizes” the entire life network of seven cheap things including labor,currency,food,energy,care,nature,and life.This cheapization makes people and nature under the concept of society pay a price.Both the historical formation and the current development of capitalism are facing serious ecological imbalances,that is,the limit of cheapness.The more you lower the price of cheap goods as much as possible,the more you need to pay high capital to maintain the operation of capital;The “world-ecology” not only focuses on economic,social,and political aspects to explain the nature and influence of the rise of European capitalism and the historical origins of the third world’s dilemma,but also tends to understand itself as one.This is a brand-new organizational principle that regards the complex relationship between human beings and all members of the life network on the earth as a whole,and is more concerned about the future of nature and the planet.The capitalist ecology needs to be reformed under the guidance of the "world-ecology" concept.And to compensate and rebuild the life network,so that people can work happily in the working space of ecological balance and restoration;The "world-ecology" not only reshapes Marx’s concept of value,but also provides us with a brand-new perspective and theoretical framework.It also shows the possibility of multiple perspectives for our country’s understanding of ecological civilization and the community of human destiny.However,the theoretical limitations of "world-ecology" are also very obvious.Its analysis is mainly based on the development history of European capitalism,and it regards ecological factors as the decisive factor in people’s political behavior,which makes the complicated relationship between contemporary capitalism and nature.Only stick to its grand unified theory,showing a strong theoretical tendency of romanticism.
