Study On Marx's Thoughts Of The Alliance Of Science And Capital

In the knowledge economy time, science and capital are two factors which play vital roles in the development of the socialist market economy. They are closely connected, and their internal interaction is strong. So the alliance of science and capital is the key to maximize the effectiveness. In "Capital" and other works, Marx deeply studied the thought of science and capital alliance, which reveals important theoretical value and instructing meaning.In the books, Marx was not limited to use the word "science" to explain the concept of science, but often used some specific terms to refer to science. For example, Marx often used "machine" to represent science and technology, and science was replaced by "knowledge". In order to discuss clearly, "science" in this article generally refers to the natural sciences, technical sciences, technology products, processes and so on. Marx revealed the nature of capital in three aspects: "productive", "social" and "historic". Capital in this article mainly refers to the context of its production properties.Science and capital links closely, which play important roles in the development process of each other. Science is one of the conditions of capital productivity, one means of acquiring wealth, and provides the unlimited expansion of power to capital development. In capital operation, science continues to permeate the production process, becomes a productive force. For scientific research, capital provides not only the necessary funds, but also all the necessary material assistance. The essence of capital, acquiring surplus value, becomes the motivation of scientific research, and capital investment expands the scope of scientific research. Apparently, the relationship between science and capital is becoming more and more closely, which influence, affect, and limit each other. In order to make the best out of science and capital in the production, their alliance must be realized.The alliance of science and capital has two forms: space alliance and time alliance. The meaning of space alliance is, in order to maximize profits (to maximize the residual value) in a production cycle, the combination of science and capital should be a comprehensive communication and configuration, and matches the elements of science and capital rationally. This is a static alliance. Its specific forms are the proper plant, the proper equipment and tools, the proper workers, the proper process, the proper organization and management of production and so on. The meaning of time alliance is, when science or capital have changed in different cycle, the link and configure of science and capital should be made corresponding adjustments according to the specific changing circumstances, so that science and capital can achieve their mutual adaptation in new production cycle, the elements of which can achieve comprehensive contact and reasonable match, produce a new space alliance. This is a dynamic alliance. Time alliance of science and capital mainly is characterized by possessing new scientific results timely and investing in scientific research timely. Time alliance of science and capital reflects the time series dynamic development of space alliance of science and capital.Marx thought reveals the relationship between capital and science, and points out that we must connect science and capital so as to achieve a comprehensive reasonable allocation whether in the form of space or dynamic time development process. These ideas are important to the construction of socialist market economy, will direct us and inspire us. In Chinese socialist market economy, we should strengthen scientific research, in particular, increase investment in basic scientific research. We should strengthen cooperation between scientific research institutions and enterprises, and speed up the applying of scientific achievements to practice. At the same time, we should also strengthen worker training and education to improve the laborers'scientific literacy. We should enhance the construction of laws and regulations related to scientific achievements protection, and create a favorable environment for scientific research.
