The Inherent Mechanism of How the Digital Economy Empowers the New Development Paradigm: From the Perspective of Das Kapital He Aiping, Xu Yan 2022, 56 (1):  24-33.  Abstract ( )   PDF (2169KB) ( )   The fifth plenary session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China explicitly proposed to establish a new development paradigm featuring dual circulation，in which domestic and overseas markets reinforce each other，with the domestic market as the mainstay This new development paradigm is consistent with the internal logic of the circulation of the national economy as revealed in Das Kapital Viewed from the perspective of Das Kapital，the inherent mechanism of how the digital economy empowers the new development paradigm is manifested in the following three aspects At the level of individual capital，the digital economy promotes the circulation continuity by expediting the transformation of capital's form，and improves the turnover efficiency by reducing the circulation cost，shortening the time consumption，and innovating the fixed capital compensation mode At the level of total social capital，it facilitates the formation of a strong domestic market and provides highquality product and technology supply by promoting the value compensation and physical compensation of total capital It also provides a strong driving force for the circulation of total capital by enhancing the intermediary role of currency At the level of international circulation，the digital economy can deepen the world market connection，strengthen the international law of value，reshape the pattern of the international division of labor，help domestic and overseas markets reinforce each other，and promote the final formation of the new development paradigm featuring “double circulation”.

Inspirations from Classical Western Thoughts and the Origin of Marx's Philosophical Revolution: Based on “Notes on Epicurean Philosophy” Xi Ge, Zhang Jidong 2022, 56 (1):  34-42.  Abstract ( )   PDF (1939KB) ( )   It is necessary to reveal Marx's complex intellectual horizon between traditional thoughts and the modern philosophy by centering on his “Notes on Epicurean Philosophy”. Marx argued that there was a remarkable similarity between the situation after Aristotle and that after Hegel，ie the total philosophy encountered the crisis of disintegration and a transformation in philosophy was expected Marx foresaw that a possible way for the transformation in philosophy after Hegel to reconstruct the total philosophy in a “subjective form” lay in the philosophy of selfconsciousness and the “materialization of philosophy”. Marx's doctoral dissertation and related notes show us the image of a young thinker trying to find a way of philosophical revolution by bridging the ancient and the modern Viewed from the perspective of a macro intellectual history，the relationship between traditional and modern thoughts in the “Notes on Epicurean Philosophy” is not onedimensional Instead，there is a bidirectional process of interaction，in which “inspirations from classics” and “modern reconstruction” are intertwined The process in which classical thoughts inspire and motivate modern thinkers is also a process in which modern thinkers construct and reconstruct classical thoughts In Marx's consciousness of a modern philosophical revolution，classical thoughts are reproduced and thereby gain profound “modernity”.

Publicness of the Social Governance Community: Values and Practice Principles Bao Dawei, Yang Xiaotong 2022, 56 (1):  43-53.  Abstract ( )   PDF (2339KB) ( )   Building a social governance community in which everyone is responsible，dedicated，and shares benefits is a magic weapon of governance derived from the major achievements and historical experience of the Communist Party of China over the past century，and represents the innovation and development of Marxist thoughts on social governance Its theoretical significance lies not only in its precise reflection of the value preference for publicness in contemporary China's social governance，but also in its establishment of the practice principles about laying the value foundation for governing subjects and giving play to institutional advantages In the practical dimension，building a social governance community and the value preference for publicness implies the cultivation of the public spirit，the optimization of governing subjects' rights and responsibilities，the facilitation of the innovative application of governance modes，and the resultant dialectical unity of value rationality and instrumental rationality of subjects The current complicated and volatile international economic and political situations make it even more necessary for us to promote the interdependence，complementation and cooperation of different economic entities through the establishment of a social governance community，and thereupon ensure the health and vitality of each social unit，and facilitate the formation of a new development paradigm featuring dual circulation，with the domestic market as the mainstay Related Articles | Metrics

Causes and Impact of the US Household Debt Growth: An Analysis of Political Economy Shen Youjia, Ding Shuang 2022, 56 (1):  82-96.  Abstract ( )   PDF (3173KB) ( )   Underlying the “high mass consumption”，which constitutes a stimulus to the US economic growth，is the “high household debt”. Workers have to borrow to pay the labor production costs，which is typically manifested in their purchase of daily living materials and payment of living expenses (including medical expenses) by credit cards，the purchase of housing by bottomclass workers families with subprime loans，and workingclass childrens payment of public highereducation expenses by loan. Among the various factors counteracting the law of declining average profit margins，“pushing wages below the labor force value” is the most significant one  In order to solve the problem of realizing the value of reproduction，ie the realization of surplus value，converting part of the necessary consumption fund of workers into the credit granted by capital has become a condition for the reproduction of capitalist relations of production Household debt has profound impact on the capitalist production and accumulation Because of debt，workers have to endure a higher rate of exploitation，which increases the production of surplus value Part of labor production costs is converted into capital interests Borrowing for consumption temporarily alleviates the difficulty of realizing surplus value in the field of circulation In the field of production，it further polarizes the distribution system As a result，the contradictions concerning overproduction and social tearing will be inevitable Related Articles | Metrics

How to Criticize Capitalism in the 21st Century?On Erik Olin Wright's Critical Theory of Capitalism Sun Haiyang 2022, 56 (1):  97-108.  Abstract ( )   PDF (2788KB) ( )   Erik Olin Wright is a famous Marxist theorist in contemporary America，with all his life being devoted to criticizing capitalism and envisioning a real socialist project As one of the most important representatives of the European and American left，Wright starts his criticism with establishing the normative foundation for a moral critique of capitalism，and presents the strategic vision of eroding and displacing capitalism by integrating various strategic logics in the history of social protest He then provides a socialist institutional design based on economic democracy，and proposes the guiding principles for constructing collective agents of social transformation Despite limitations in the methodology of social critique and the logic of argumentation of socialism，Wrights critical theory，with its firm value stance and grand intellectual ambition，helps to a certain extent address the current leftwing dilemma characterized by strategy scarcity and deteriorating disintegration Therefore，it represents a new trend of Marxism in Europe and America in the 21st century Related Articles | Metrics

The Rationalist Principle in the Ideological and Political Education Process Jin Denan 2022, 56 (1):  109-112.  Abstract ( )   PDF (1700KB) ( )   The ideological and political education process contains the process of teaching of educators and learning of educatees The learning of educatees is essentially a process for them to rely on the knowledge system and rational deduction to generate relevant values It contains three entitylike elements，ie the knowledge system，rational deduction，and values As a material of rational deduction and a carrier of values，the knowledge system can enable educatees to manifest values on the basis of rational deduction Meanwhile，as a crucial step that helps educatees understand the knowledge system and the ensuing values，rational deduction can authenticate，falsify and connect knowledge，which allows educatees to build up values centered on the knowledge system Values derive from the process in which educatees use rational deduction to generate the knowledge system With liberal rationality as the precondition，they are inherently consistent with the knowledge system and based on the process in which rational deduction generates the knowledge system Therefore，the ideological and political education process should be based on rationalism to integrate the knowledge system，rational deduction and values in order to fundamentally boost the effectiveness of the ideological and political education Related Articles | Metrics
