资本收益合理性：一种制度的诠释

资本收益是否具有合理性是马克思主义经济学与西方经济学的一个重要理论分歧,西方经济学的边际生产力分配论虽然指出了资本收益的客观存在,但没有揭示出资本收益的真正来源。马克思主义关于资本在特定历史阶段对生产力发展推动作用的论述为理解资本收益合理性提供了思路。资本收益来源于劳动创造和各种成本的节约,而最终获得则是生产力发展的特定历史阶段社会所有权制度安排的。

Reasonableness of Capital Gains: an Interpretative Framework of Institutional Economics

In Marxist economics and Western economics,it remains a theoretical dispute whether it is reasonable to have capital gains.Capital is regarded as one of the production inputs,a production factor that produces use value of goods;therefore,it is taken as a value creation factor,which provides the theoretic basis for capital gains.According to Marxist theory,however,capital itself does not create value,so it can not be regarded as a production factor,but a reflection of social production relationship in market economy.The reasonableness of capital gains lies in its scarcity and reduction of transacting costs related to production organization and management as a result of social ownership.
