近些年来西方发达资本主义国家失业人数剧增,成为各国最严重的社会问题。德、法、英等各国工会和社会民主党、工党都有人主张缩短工作周,提供更多的工作位置来解决失业问题。欧洲工联从1979年到1985年连续三次代表大会都提出以三十五小时工作周代替现在实行的三十九至四十小时工作周的主张。在这一背景下,社会党国际机关刊物《社会主义事务》季刊(英文版)1984年第二期重新发表了考茨基的这篇文章的英文译本。文章前面有编辑部的按语如下:“这是卡尔·考茨基最后的著作主一。他在其中用马克思主义观点分析了缩短工作周及其经济效果问题。本文在1937年用德文发表,现在我们重新刊出,不仅是为了使公众能够看到这位著名的马克思恩格斯著作解释者的这篇文章,而且也是为了使人能够从历史和理论的角度去进行当前关于缩短工作周的讨论。”
In recent years, the unemployment rate in western developed capitalist countries has soared, making it the most serious social problem in all countries. Some people in Germany, France, Britain, etc., trade unions, social democrats, and Labor parties advocate a shorter working week and more job opportunities to solve the unemployment problem. The European Federation of Trade Unions proposed that the thirty-five to forty-hour working week be replaced by the thirty-five hour working week for three consecutive congresses from 1979 to 1985. Against this background, the English version of Kautsky's article was reissued in the second issue of the Quarterly Journal of Socialist Affairs, the publication of the Socialist International Publications (English Version). The editorial board in front of the article reads as follows: “This is Karl Kautsky's last master, in which he analyzes the issue of shortening the work week and its economic effects with a Marxist perspective.This article was published in German in 1937, Now we re-publish it not only to enable the public to see the article by the famous interpreter of Marx and Engels, but also to enable people to carry out the current discussions on shortening the work week from a historical and theoretical point of view. ”
