Research On Marx’s Theory For The Distribution Of Income

Income distribution is the basic issue of Social economic life. Both Marx economics and bourgeoiseconomics concern about this topic, but they have totally different position, viewpoint and method. In thispaper, the author reviewed the income distribution theory of bourgeois and petty bourgeois economistsbefore Marxism, as well as a utopian socialist from a historical perspective and pointed out their limitationsand drawbacks. Based on these research, focusing on Marx’s theory of income distribution, including theMarx doctrine on the allocation problem of general principle, and the Marx doctrine on capitalism andsocialism income distribution income distribution principle, especially the theory connotation and the pathof development of the socialist distribution theory, and put forward some countermeasures suggestion andopinion for current income allocation reform in our country.The bourgeois class before Marxism economists about income distribution theory, is based on privateownership commodity economy and on the foundation of the capitalist economy, its core is the bourgeoisproperty rights and property rights view. Both classical economics school or vulgar economic school, theirincome distribution theory did not beyond the narrow horizon of bourgeois. The only difference is that theformer emphasis on the role of labor in wealth and value formation, and consciously or unconsciouslyexposed the opposition and contradictions in the capitalist society relations of production and distribution;The latter or trying to argue the favour of capitalism income distribution relationship, or trying to put theincome distribution relationship as a independent part, and thus trying to adjust the income distributionrelationship of different class, in order to maintain the capitalist mode of production and productionrelations. The petty-bourgeois economists and utopian socialism thinker of the income distribution theoryin common is, they all expose and criticize the capitalist relations of production and income distribution relationship. But the former is actually claiming to back to the capitalist mode of small producer production;The latter claims, is a pipe dream of nature. This explains: before all of the Marxist economics, theirincome distribution theory are based on the bourgeois idealism conception of history. Only Marxism andMarxist economics, can explain various income distribution theory scientifically.The Marxist income distribution theory is based on the world outlook of historical materialism.Marxism believes that the production, consumption, distribution and exchange is a unified organism in anysociety, they constitute the same organism from inside the link, their difference is only in the unified socialproduction process. The distribution relationship is just a side or the back of the. It is the relations ofproduction distribution decide the relations of distribution, not the other way around. The capitalist mode ofproduction is based on labor be a commodity and surplus value production become the purpose of capitalistproduction of the foundation. Through take part in the revolutionary practice by himself and in-depthresearch, Marx found the secret of surplus value production, then revealed the movement rule of thecapitalist mode of production, and the essence of the source of income in capitalist society. Based on theanalysis and criticism of capitalist mode of production, and in the process of criticizing the opportunismtrend in bourgeoisie class, the petty bourgeoisie and the workers’ movement, Marx and Engels made astatement of the income distribution problems in the two different stages of communist society in principle.The statement about future social income distribution by Marx and Engels is an important part ofMarxism,and the basic principle of scientific socialist. Lenin, Stalin, Mao Zedong and other people in thepractice developed and enriched the socialist society of the income distribution theory. With DengXiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, etc, as a representative of the Chinese communist party, formed theChinese characteristic socialism of the income distribution theory during the opening up and modernizationconstruction practice. This is an important part of the Chinese characteristic socialism theory system, also a great achievement in the process of combination of Marxism and China’s practice. Correctly understandingthe principle of Marxist income distribution has vital significance for a correct understanding and solvingthe current income distribution problem in our country. In addition, it is also important to the prosperity anddevelopment of Marxist economics and scientific socialism theory under the new historical conditions.After the production material ownership of socialist transformation completed, our country set upthe socialist relations of production and distribution. The original planning economic system and theallocation system based on public ownership in our country played an indelible historical role in China’ssocialist economic development and people’s standard of living rise, showing the great superiority ofsocialist economic system. But along with the further development of the socialist economy, the originaleconomic system and distribution system also exposed a lot of disadvantages, hampered the superiority ofsocialism better to play. Since the reform and opening up policy, our country has established the basiceconomic system that public ownership as the foundation, the diverse forms of ownership developing andto distribution according to work as the main body, a variety of modes of distribution coexist, and thesocialist market economy which has played an important role in the new period of socialist modernizationconstruction, and has achieved spectacular great achievement.But along with the rapid development of our country’s economy and society, in income distributionfield also appeared some new and urgent problems, and how to scientifically understand and deal with ourcountry income distribution relationship in existence of these problems, become the key point of reform. Inthis, through the research on income distribution theory, the paper thus put forward some views andsuggestions to narrowing the income gap, adjusting the income distribution system as a whole of andchanging economic development mode.
