航运在资本主义发展过程中起着至关重要的作用,马克思、恩格斯认为航运促进了封建经济的解体、促进了资本主义的原始积累、促进了大工业的形成、促进了经济全球化的发展、促进了经济危机的全球化、促进了资本主义制度的最终灭亡,在未来的共产主义社会里应该把包括航运在内的运输部门集中到国家手里。马克思主义关于航运的经济学思想对于中国发展商品经济、参与经济全球化具有重要的参考价值。 Shipping plays a vital role in the development of capitalism. Marx and Engels think that shipping promotes the disintegration of feudal economy, promotes the primitive accumulation of capitalism, promotes the formation of large industries, and promotes the development of economic globalization. Promoted the globalization of the economic crisis and promoted the ultimate demise of the capitalist system. In the future communist society, the transportation sector including shipping should be centralized in the country. Marxist economic thinking on shipping has an important reference value for China to develop its commodity economy and participate in economic globalization.
