The Inequality Under The Digital Analysis Of Capital

The core content of Marxism is Human being.One problem about human being that can not be ignored in Marx’s Political Economy is the gap between the rich and the poor—the inequality.More than one century passed since Das Kapital published,today in 21 century,Thomas Piketty again set the inequality as his main research object in his Capital in the Twenty-First Century,he discussed the problems in social distribution while economic society developing.This essay tries to analyze the academic background of inequality and Piketty’s way of studying inequality problem based on Marxism. We could find a new way to know Capital in the Twenty-First Century and the inequality in the Capitalism by comparing the similar discussion with Marx in Das Kapital.From perspective of Marxism,the inequality is more than just a economic problem but a philosophical problem,a problem about human being.In Marx’s Political Economy research,the inequality is transition between Capitalism’s inner contradiction and class conflict.The inner contradiction externalize into inequality,and the inequality expand to a serious problem,so the conflict between different class become fierce,that’s where Marx’s prediction about Capitalism’s failure comes out.Capital is originally an economic category, while Marx put it in historical materialism to study.So capital is given polybasic and dynamic meaning,and he have a deeper reflection about inequality connected to social relations and social system,pointing out a path leading to human being’s all-sided and impartial development.
