论经济全球化与资本扩张

摘要

当今社会，以西方资本主义国家主导的经济全球化正迅猛发展，体现为一个不以人的意志为转移的过程。这本质上是资本为实现最大限度剩余价值而不断向外扩张的产物，资本概念本身便包含创造全球化市场即经济全球化的趋势。但是，经济全球化时代下的资本扩张不再采取奴隶贸易、殖民统治、战争、军事入侵等赤裸且残酷的暴力侵略手段，而是将一切建立在以等价交换为基本原则的市场经济逻辑和普遍共识基础之上，更多依靠经济剥夺、文化渗透、制度认同等较为文明和隐蔽的方式。%Intoday’ssociety,therapiddevelopmentofeconomicglobalizationdominatedby Western capitalistcountriesreflectsaprocessbeyondthecontrolofpeople’swill,whichisessentiallyanoutcome oftheconstantlyoutwardexpansionforcapitaltoachieveitsmaximalsurplusvalue,becausetheconcept ofcapitalitselfinvolvesthetrendofcreatingaglobalmarket,namely,economicglobalization.However, intheeraofeconomicglobalization,capitalexpansionisnolongerconductedinsuchnakedandbrutal mannersastheslavetrade,colonialrule,warsormilitaryinvasionbutbasedonthemarketeconomylogic andonthegeneralconsensuswiththeexchangeofequalvalueasthebasicprincipleaswellasdependent uponmorecivilizedandsubtlewayslikeeconomicdeprivation,culturalinfiltrationandinstitutionalidenti-fication,etc.
