苏联解体带来的东西方冷战的结束,并没有导致西方一些人所期望和欢呼的“和平”与“繁荣”。相反,各种矛盾、冲突、危机纷至沓来。后金融危机时代,资本主义仍然危机不断,一些国家的危机甚至还有加深的迹象,危机造成的各种后果和影响也已逐步呈现出来。例如,美国的长期国债已被标准普尔公司下调了评级,欧元区也不断传出各种利空消息。金融危机不仅是经济领域的危机,还反映出深刻的政治及社会危机。在新的历史形势下,面对当今资本主义发生的新变化,我们该如何看待马克思主义经典作家关于资本主义经济危机的论述?这次危机的特点以及影响究竟如何?对于中国而言,可以从中吸取怎样的教训,采取怎样的应对措施?为了加深对这些问题的认识与思考,本刊特约请中国社会科学院世界经济与政治研究所沈骥如研究员、现代国际关系研究院世界经济研究所江涌研究员进行了深入探讨。 The end of the Cold War between East and West brought by the dissolution of the Soviet Union did not lead to “peace” and “prosperity” that some in the West expected and cheered. On the contrary, various contradictions, conflicts and crises come on stream. In the post-financial crisis era, capitalism is still in crisis and the crisis in some countries even shows signs of deepening. The various consequences and influences caused by the crisis have also gradually emerged. For example, the long-term U.S. Treasury bonds have been downgraded by Standard & Poor’s and the euro zone has also been making negative news. The financial crisis is not only a crisis in the economic field but also reflects a profound political and social crisis. In the new historical situation, in the face of the new changes that have taken place in capitalism today, how can we view the Marxist classics’ account of the economic crisis in capitalism? What are the characteristics and impact of this crisis? For China, we can learn from it In order to deepen our understanding and thinking on these issues, we specifically invite Professor Shen Jiuru from the Institute of World Economics and Politics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and researcher Jiang Yong from the Institute of World Economic Studies of the Institute of Contemporary International Relations discuss in depth.
