当代全球化运动肇始于19世纪甚至于更早的工业革命时期,而最早在理论上把握这一社会事实的伟大学者就是马克思。马克思的社会发展理论是全球化语境下的社会发展理论。他从“世界史”的角度论述了资本主义历史的全球化性质,论证了社会发展的基本动力和途径,指明了社会发展的终极目标———人的自由解放和全面发展。 The contemporary globalization movement started in the 19th century or even earlier in the industrial revolution. The great scholar who first grasped this social fact theoretically was Marx. Marx’s social development theory is the theory of social development in the context of globalization. From the perspective of “world history”, he discusses the globalization of capitalist history, demonstrates the basic motive force and approach of social development, and points out the ultimate goal of social development --- the liberation and all-round development of human beings.
