政治经济学季刊

法国左翼经济学家托马斯·皮凯蒂的新著《资本与意识形态》是一部融历史学、经济学及社会主义理论于一体的巨著，它细致地梳理了奴隶社会、“三级社会”、传统资本主义、殖民社会、社会民主主义和“超级资本主义”等各种不平等制度及其意识形态，并据此提出了以平等为核心价值的理想社会方案——21世纪“参与式社会主义”。皮凯蒂此书对于人类社会的不平等问题，尤其是当今的“超级资本主义”具有很强的批判性，该书以翔实的资料、明晰的数据以及作者本人的世界性影响力为资本主义世界敲响了警钟，并再次提醒世人社会主义替代资本主义的必然要求和前进方向。但他的方法是非历史唯物主义的，也没有从根本上超越社会民主主义的改良型取径。皮凯蒂不是从资本主义的现实矛盾出发，而是从理想社会的理念出发推导他的社会主义方案，因此这一方案在很大程度上流于空想。我们必须坚持马克思主义的方法和科学社会主义的理论，继承社会主义在现实发展中取得的经验和成果，在新时代中国特色社会主义的实践基础上科学地谋划超越资本主义的世界性方案，如此才能辩证地借鉴皮凯蒂，超越皮凯蒂。

The French left-wing economist Thomas Piketty's new book Capital and Ideology is a monumental work which integrates history, economics and socialist theories. It analyzes in detail various inequality systems such as the slave society, the “three-class society”, the traditional capitalist society, social democracy, “super capitalism”, and puts forward an ideal society scheme based on the core value of equality: 21st-Century “Participatory Socialism”. This book is very critical for the inequality of human society and especially for “super Capitalism”, which sounds the alarm for the Capitalist world with explicit materials, clear data and his international influences, and reminds the world people again that Socialism should be the alternative and tendency of Capitalism. However, Piketty's method is not historical materialism and he has not transcended the reformism of social democracy. Piketty starts from the idea of an ideal society rather than the realistic contradictions of Capitalism, so his Socialist scheme is a fantasy to a large extent. We must adhere to the Marxist method and Scientific Socialist theories, inherit the experience and results of the development of Socialism, find out the solution to transcend Capitalism worldwide on the base of the practice of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era, so that we can not only dialectically learn from Piketty but also transcend Piketty.
