商品经济是社会发展到一定阶段的产物,它的产生有两大条件:一是由于社会分工的形成,商品交换成了人们生活、生产不可缺少的行为;二是不从事生产而专门从事商品交换的人的出现。商品经济产生以后,它对整个社会产生了极为强大的驱动力,在这种驱动力的作用下,社会经济、政治、文化,乃至社会风气等等,都发生了一系列的变化,而这种变化又很难人为地予以有效的控制,或者说常常不以人们的意志为转移。据此我们说,研究商品经济在历史过程中的作用,就是为我们解读历史和总结历史规律,找到了一把非常重要的钥匙。 Commodity economy is a product of social development to a certain stage. Its production has two major conditions: First, due to the formation of social division of labor, the exchange of goods has become an indispensable act in people’s lives and production; second, it does not engage in production and specializes in the exchange of commodities The appearance of people. After the emergence of the commodity economy, it has created a very powerful driving force for the entire society. Under this driving force, a series of changes have taken place in the social economy, politics, culture, and even social customs, etc. Change is difficult to artificially control, or often not to the will of the people. Based on this, we say that studying the role of the commodity economy in the historical process is to find a very important key for us to interpret history and sum up historical laws.
