A Research On Innovation Of Social Capital Reproduction Theory

The theory of social capital reproduction is the basic theory of Marxist political economics.Facing with economic development and the limitations of theoretical development,it is unavoidable to consider how to innovate and develop Marx's social capital reproduction theory.The reproduction of social capital is a connotation-rich theoretical system.Research on the innovation of the social capital reproduction theory can be divided into at least three levels:basic theory,concretization and application of theory.The subject of this dissertation is the innovative research of basic theory,whose mainline is the construction of a social capital reproduction model of four departments consisting of three basic types.The main contents,containing theoretical basic research and theoretical development research,consist of two basics,including the study of the creation history and literature review,and six levels of development,including the expansion of the concept of commodities,the expansion of the scope of production labor,the expansion of the social production department,the construction of a social capital simple reproduction model of four departments,the construction of a social capital expanded reproduction model of four departments and the construction of a social capital reduced reproduction model of four departments.This dissertation is divided into five chapters in addition to the introduction and the conclusion,which is based on the method of“one main line,double foundation,three types,four departments,structure of five chapters,and expansion of six levels”.The first chapter expounds the brief history of Marx's creation of the social capital reproduction theory,aims to break through the limitations of the third chapter of the second volume of the“Capital”,and more fully grasps the original appearance of Marx's social capital reproduction theory.In combing the relevant manuscripts of the second book of Capital in MEGA~2 and other relevant documents,from the germination of theory to the formation of theory,to the basic completion of theory,Marx's social capital reproduction theory had gone through three stages and more than 30 years of creation time.Throughout the creation process of social capital reproduction theory,Marx had made arduous explorations,created a large number of manuscripts and constructed a theoretical system for the social capital reproduction of two departments.However,it is an open theoretical system that had not yet been completed,so we must not only inherit,but also continue to explore and innovate along the lines of Marx's theoretical trajectory.Since the publication of the second volume of the“Capital”,researchers from home and abroad have made a large number of interpretations,comments,and researches on the social capital reproduction theory,which has greatly promoted the spread and development of the theory.The second chapter summarizes the relevant research at home and abroad in order to grasp the research status of social capital reproduction theory.In foreign countries,innovative research by Lenin,Feldman,Sweezy,etc.,promoted the concretization of the social capital reproduction theory;the dispute between Luxemburg and Tugan,Bauer,Bukharin,etc.,opened up a new situation in the innovation and development of the theory;the research and application of the Soviet Union's official and academic circles on the comprehensive balance of the national economy promoted the practical application of the social capital reproduction theory;since the 1950s,the research on social capital reproduction abroad has presented a tendency of“equalization”and“growth theory”.Although these two directions are endogenous to the social capital reproduction theory system,in the absence of basic theoretical innovation,the social capital reproduction theory has been“assimilated”by Western mainstream economic theories.In China,along with the economic and social development,the research on the social capital reproduction theory can be divided into three stages:the imitation research stage(from the1950s to the mid-1960s),the exploratory research stage(From the late 1970s to the early1990s)and the declining research stage(since the mid-1990s).On the whole,there are many bright spots in the basic theoretical research,concrete research,and applied research of social capital reproduction theory in China,but also a lack of systematic research achievements in basic theory innovation.Looking at the research status at home and abroad,there is a serious shortage of basic theoretical innovations,which leads to“being Westernized”in its concretization and application.The discourse system of Marxist political economics is shrinking.In accordance with the principle of unity of microanalysis and macroanalysis,the third chapter elaborates the theory of service commodities,aiming to expand the concept of commodities and the scope of productive labor.Although Marx established the theory of material commodities,according to the advancement of research,the concept of commodities has been expanded at least four times.According to the logic of labor value theory,service is a procedural labor product.Service commodity is used to exchange service,and it is also a unity of use value and value.Although the use value of service goods is intangible,it is also an important part of social wealth like the use value of physical commodities.The labor of producing service commodities also has duality,and the value of service goods is“object-oriented”human abstract labor in the use value of service goods.According to the value composition of service goods,service labor is also productive labor.Therefore,material commodities and service commodities constitute the total social product,and service labor is an important part of production labor in the social capital reproduction system.The fourth chapter expands the social production from the field of material production to the service production based on the analysis of the social capital reproduction problem and theoretical assumptions.Correspondingly,the social production expands from two to four departments,reproduction schemes of four departments are established,and a simple reproduction model of four departments is constructed.On this basis,a simple reproduction model for sub-divisional departments,including public class and open economy,are also established;the law of money backflow in the simple reproduction model of four classes is analyzed;the compensation for fixed capital is clarified.On the basis of the fourth chapter,the fifth chapter constructs an expanded reproduction model and a reduced reproduction model of four departments,and initially establishes a social capital reproduction theory of four departments that includes three types.To expand reproduction,the“closed loop”of simple reproduction must be broken for some of the surplus value is accumulated into production capital.The preconditions and realization conditions for expanded reproduction of four departments are composed of four levels.The expanded reproduction model of four departments is verified by a numerical example and the new features of extension and connotation expanded reproduction are analyzed.Although the expansion of reproduction is the main feature of the market economy,reduced reproduction is also a realistic factor in social production and constitutes three basic types of social capital reproduction together with simple reproduction and expanded reproduction.Contrary to the expanded reproduction to transform part of the surplus value into production capital,the reduced production accumulates negatively production capital to surplus value and can be divided into two types:“external constringency”and“internal lag”.The preconditions and realization conditions for the reduced production of four departments are also composed of four levels and the reduced reproduction model of four departments is verified by a numerical example.On this basis,the basic equilibrium theorem of social capital reproduction is summed up and proved:If social capital reproduction achieves balance,then the total social product scale matrix must be a symmetric matrix,i.e.R_t(28)R_t~T.The reproduction of social capital is not only the reproduction of commodities and capital but also the reproduction of capital relations and contradiction.The types,characteristics and trends of social capital reproduction contradictions are the analyzed.There is no end to the theoretical innovation.The expanded research in this dissertation only constructs a preliminary framework for the initial construction of a basic theory,and there are still many issues to be innovative in the future.At the end of the dissertation,the outlook for research on social capital reproduction and the principles that should be followed are briefly introduced.
