The Tracing, Development And Enlightenment Of Marx's Theory Of Productive Labor

Productive labor is an important category of labor value theory and Marxist political economy.Under the economic globalization and changes in the field of labor,studying Marx's theory of productive labor,tracing theoretical origins,exploring development process and enriching and developing with socialism,is conducive to adhering to the theory of labor value and developing a rich new era Marx's theory about productive labor.And it is also conducive to recognizing the nature of production in a socialist society and enriching the theory about the socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics.This article mainly studies Marx's production labor theory from the four aspects.The theory of productive labor by classical political scientists and bourgeois vulgar economists provided fertile ground for Marx.Firstly,it systematically combed classical political scientists such as William Petty,Francois Quesnay,Adam Smith,and bourgeois vulgar economists such as Malthus and Say,and clearly clarified that Marx's production labor theory revealed the essence of capitalist exploitation,and gradually formed in the process of continuous criticism and transcending existing theories.Secondly,after studying Marx's related books,it's found that Marx mainly studied productive labor from two aspects,that is the production labor in the general labor process and production labor in the capital production mode.These two aspects expound Marx's theory of productive labor.Thirdly,following the analysis methods from general to special,combined with the production process and production relations with Chinese socialist characteristics,reinterpret the theory of production labor under the conditions of a socialist market economy.At the same time,it analyzes service labor and new labor such as management labor,science and technology labor,and digital labor in the more controversial immaterial fields,and clarifies its important role in the development of socialism,and plays a targeted role in serving socialism.Finally,it is stated that in the context of the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics,an in-depth study of Marx's theory of productive labor will reaffirm the importance of labor,deepen the understanding of emerging labor,treat material production labor,attach importance to non-material productive labor,and promote the economy to“retreat from reality.” It is of great significance to deepen the supply-side structural reform.
