It is the movement of capital that bring about the contradiction of equity and efficiency, of progress and cost, and of economy and ethic in the process of modern productivity. We used to simply study economy alone, and we didn't find the true cause of the contradictions. Only if we bring the development of modern productivity and the capital together and work over their dialectic relation, can we catch on firmly and figure out exactly the series of contradictions, which will provide us with academic demonstration of our productivity development which is fast, steady-going and healthy. In this paper, I come to the conclusion that it is of historical necessity that the capital phase is in process of the development of productivity in humankind society. The capital is a form of value in nature. Commodity that contains use value and exchange value will come forth inevitably on the basis of division of labor and exchange of labor. The commuting value will manifest itself in the unattached form of currency that embodies a contradiction of oneness in quality and infinity in quantity and has to augment itself in quantity boundlessly. If this intrinsic contradiction plus abstract labor inevitably give rise to capital. In the process of development of modern productivity, as the unity of dimension of relation of production and technological dimension, capital comprises three dimensions. The mode of production in the view of the macroscopic process of productivity in history; currency in the view of its producing surplus value, and assets, about which we were referring to, in the view of the elements of production, which may be tangible means of production or intangible culture or knowledge. Such is the relationship of capital and market economy: it is capital that divides commodity economy with market economy and impels the development of productivity in the market economy which is a economy development mode of collecting social resources efficiently by free competition among units of capital. Capital is a kind of effective form which adapt to the modern social productivity. In the modern social production, on the one hand, the tools by which man acts on nature and develop productivity are mostly industrial machines in a concentrative fashion. If we want to develop productivity still further, we must not distribute the means of production (for example, machines) to individuals, otherwise, production could not go along. So the conditions of labor, such as means of production will always present itself as a kind of ownership. On the other hand, in order to accumulate the development of the productivity ceaselessly, the results of labor will not be evenly distributed to individuals and will have to concentrated be with a kind of form as the premise for further development of productivity. Under these circumstances, most laborers have to plunge his labor force as commodity into the process of production. The industrial machine production shapes the labor into simplest form thus the whole social labor has been generalized and abstracted. By so doing, generalized and abstracted labor provides the establishment of value form a practical basis in the whole society. Thereby, factors of production under the dominance of capital take the forms of values. The historical excuse of the exist of capital is expanding productivity. The development of generic social productivity is achieved through in the concrete labor process which can be analyzed with substance want and productive labor, spiritual want and its production, economic communication and its norms. Such is the internal mechanism of capital in the process of development of productivity. It can adapt to the modern social mass production, and be able to absorb the "free" social power, for instance, integral power resulted from division of labor and incorporation and so on. It can absorb constantly scientific knowledge and apply them into the process of productivity effectively. It can save and develop social productivity in the social company that extend infinitely, wh...
