资本主义高度社会化的生产力发展,与生产资料及产品被私人占有的资本主义生产关系之间产生了尖锐的矛盾,这个矛盾是资本主义的基本矛盾。这种生产力和生产关系之间的矛盾,会产生资本主义生产无限扩大的趋势和亿万劳动群众购买力相对缩小的矛盾。为了缓解这种矛盾资本主义国家所采用的主要途径是对外战争。在文中从历史资料出发就对外战争与美国经济的关系进行了分析。 There has been a sharp contradiction between the development of a highly socialized productive forces in capitalism and the capitalist relations of production in which the means of production and products are privately owned. This contradiction is the fundamental contradiction of capitalism. Such contradictions between the productive forces and the relations of production lead to the trend of unlimited expansion of capitalist production and the contradiction between the relatively diminished purchasing power of hundreds of millions of working people. In order to alleviate this contradiction, the main approach adopted by the capitalist countries is the foreign war. Based on the historical data, this paper analyzes the relationship between the foreign war and the U.S. economy.
