Marx's Poverty Theory And Its Contemporary Value

Poverty is the highlight on the existing situations in human history.The non-poor society is the pursuit of our statecraft non-stopped working. Sociologists believe that poverty is not only difficult to cure but also a common social phenomenon.Based on his study of capitalist early social poverty and his criticism of classical political economists, Marx structured his initial theory and further developed it to Marx's Poverty Theory. This theory was based on the analysis elements of nation,institution,capitaland ideology.Marx's Poverty Theory had been the guiding principle of anti-poverty work and the important theoretical system to analyze the problem of povertysince the founding of New China. It had a profound impact on Chinese anti-poverty theory and its practice.Since the founding of New China,the anti-poverty work had gone through three stages : the planned economy period, development-oriented alleviation period and precision-oriented alleviation period. In each stage, Marx's Poverty Theory had a profound impact on the decision makers to choose the anti-poverty path. For example:during the period of planned economy,China struggled against poverty by completing transformation of the country, implementing Commune system and equalitarianism,as well as by instilling struggle philosophy.During development-oriented alleviation period, China tried to construct a socialist country with special characteristics, to implement a variety of ownership, to encourage the efficiency of the economy, and to establish a sense of development to fight poverty.During precision-oriented alleviation period, China enhanced national governance capacity, promoted diversified ownership, advocated sharing economy and poverty and adhered to people first thought for anti-poverty.Marx's Poverty Theory in China has been fully used and developed in practice. Of course, it is also facing serious challenges both in theory and practice. Such as: the challenge of the development of the western mainstream poverty theory has brought challenge for the development of China's anti povertywork and so on.As a historic task in the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, after several generations of arduous efforts, China's anti poverty has made significant progress on the elimination of poverty and improve people's livelihood.However, it also must open faced with many challenges later on.At present, our country is faced with an important gateway of completing a comprehensive well-off society. Therefore,we should be more under the guidance of Marx's Poverty Theory. By this way,we strengthen governance's subject construction, build a government under the rule of law. By this way, we consolidate the basis of ownership, clear property rights.By this way, we configure rational allocation of economic factors and control social capital.All in all,Marx's Poverty Theory grasps the character of the people. Under the guidance of it,we serve instead of leading.
