| Wealth plays an increasingly important role in the modern society, and the concept of wealth is the total view and the overall concept on wealth, directly reflecting people's outlook on life and value. With the deepening of the reform and opening up, and restructuring of our society, the profound changes of Chinese wealth concept have taken place. The positive impact of this change lies in the fact that the legitimacy of access to wealth is increasingly highlighted,and the wealth of people has become a symbol of quality and capability. But at the same time, it also has a negative impact, which is the social consequences that "one-sided pursuit to the wealth, ignoring the genuine happiness".In a word, the paradox of "wealth and happiness" formats in practice. Therefore, we only establish the scientific concept of wealth to overcome the root of the paradox of"wealth and happiness".Because Marxist philosophy is the scientific world outlook and methodology, researching the Marxist concept of wealth is an urgent practical significance. At the same time, despite the theories of researching wealth are many in the ideological history, they haven't explored into the natural law of the wealth problem in the sense of scientific, so the study of Marxist concept of wealth also has the theoretical significance.In Scholars, the reaserch of the Marxist concept of wealth is concentrated on four main areas. Firstly, the Marxist concept of wealth includes the three perspectives that Marxist political economy, the material form and the non-material form of the wealth, as well as the people's existence. Secondly, all kinds of specific issues of the wealth concept are studied in the field of the Marxist political economy, concerning three aspects, which is the question of the wealth scale, the relationship between wealth and the Marxist labor theory of value, as well as the production and distribution of the wealth. Thirdly, the philosophical analysis to the wealth, the main issue is the "the relationship between the wealth and people, and their history." Fourthly, the wealth is studied in the Marxist ethics perspective, including clarifying the relationship among the four hand which is "wealth and responsibility", "wealth and justice", "wealth and good faith" and "wealth and happiness."In this paper, the historic and contemporary of the Marxist concept of wealth are combined, basing on the interpretation of texts, explaining in the vision of the contemporary,and attempting to take the classical theory as a guide, to overcome the "wealth and happiness" Paradox, so as to promote the socialist harmonious Society. The basic content is divided into six parts, the first part definits the "wealth and happiness" paradox in the contemporary, and explains its impact; The second part explains the Marxist concept of wealth and its origin as well; The third part explains the basic content of the Marxist concept of wealth,including the main four areas: the natural wealth is the material basis of the social wealth, labor is the decisive force for wealth creation, wealth produced by capitalism aimed at "production for the production ", as well as the wealth development is the prerequisite of the development of peope's freedom and all-round. The forth part discusses the historical development of the Marxist concept of wealth, including the three leads: the evolution from the wealth concept of right to the wealth concept of the "human nature", the evolution from the natural wealth concept to the economic wealth concept, as well as the evolution from the material wealth concept to the communism wealth concept of"peple all-round development ". The fifth part puts the Marxist concept of wealth into the comparative perspective of the Chinese and Western wealth concept, furthering the study of wealth concept.The six part speaks the contemporary construction of the wealth concept in the harmonious society, carring out the logic deduction to overcome the "wealth and happiness" paradox first of all, then discussing the three measures of building the wealth concept of the harmonious society, namely, to build the "people-oriented" wealth concept in the harmonious society, to adhere to the concept of the harmonious society of which core is the scientific concept of wealth development, and to establish the wealth concept in the harmonious society that labor creates wealth.In this paper, research methods are the literature law, the comparative law, the interpretation law, as well as classification. The main innovation is divided into two aspects: Firstly, the innovation of view breaks through the tradition of definiting the wealth in vision of the political economy and people in the past, divides the concept of wealth into the concept of natural wealth, the wealth concept of economics, the wealth concept of law and the wealth concept of philosophy,and on the basis, proposes that the building of the wealth concept in the harmonious social have to take the scientific concept of wealth development as the core. Secondly, it is the innovation of methods.To the problem of "wealth and happiness" Paradox,the previous studies often take the concepts such as taxes and virtue as the solution of the paradox, but the article does not follow this tradition, which resolves "the wealth and happiness" paradox by a set of logical propositions. Meanwhile, it put the Marxist concept of wealth in the comparative perspective of the Chinese and Western concept of wealth, showing the meaning of the Marxist concept of wealth in the comparison. |
