Is Financial Crisis the Turning Point of the American Labor Relations? CUI Xue-dong 2011, (10):  13-21.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (418KB) ( )   The paper examines the influence of neo-liberalism on the American labor relations from the perspectives of financialization of economy;privatization of social security,the relationship between political parties and the trade union,and globalization of capitalist monopoly.The author maintains that as the current financial crisis does not fully reflect the crisis of neo-liberalism,it is not likely to promote changes in the American labor relations,and the financialization process will continue.Since the leading position of neo-liberalism has not been challenged,there lacks the incentives of working class movement and political advocacy to force any change in labor relations.In fact,the inferior position of the American working class is worsened by the globalization process.

From the Theory on Alienation of Labor to the Theory onAlienati on of Social Relationships——Development of Marx’s Concept of Alienation in His Paris Period LIU Xiu-ping 2011, (10):  30-35.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (300KB) ( )   For a long time the theory on alienation of labor has been regarded in the academic circle as Marx’s major idea in his Paris period.Many scholars referred to it in explaining and elaborating on Marx’s idea of alienation.Some even considered that this was Marx’s lifelong idea of alienation.However,if we study Marx’s works in that period as a whole,we may find out that his idea in that period was still changing and developing.A piece of obvious evidence comes from the ideas Marx expressed when referring to James Muller’s work "Principles of Political Economy",which developed "alienation of labor" to "alienation of social relationships".This is a phenomenon that needs special attention to understand Marx in that period.Besides,from the logic of heritage of ideas,without the "theory of alienation of social relationships" as the intermediary it was impossible for Marx to move on to new explanations of the phenomenon of alienation from the perspective of historical materialism in his work "German Ideology".
