Reflections on the First Reading of Das Kapital

Marx's Das Kapital is a book of great historical significance. It is not only an important work of Marxist economics, but also an important work of Marxist philosophy. Its content is extensive and profound, and its subtle exposition of capitalist economics has had a great influence on later generations. After reading Marx's Das Kapital, I will talk about my views on it.

Marx's Das Kapital, the first article on commodity and currency exchange, talks about: Commodities have no use value to their owners, but have use value to their non-users. Therefore, commodities must be changed hands in an all-round way, and this change of hands will form the exchange of commodities, so that commodities as values are interrelated and realized. It can be seen that goods must be realized as polyurethane before they can be used as value. ? This view accurately expounds the importance of exchange to commodities.

First of all, starting from the definition of commodity. As we all know, commodities are labor products for exchange. This shows that the difference between being a commodity and other things is exchange, not the product of labor. Both of them are isomorphic with the attributes of commodities. Because it can be exchanged, goods are of use value. Because it is the product of labor, it embodies the undifferentiated labor of human beings, so the commodity has value. As far as its attributes are concerned, commodities are the unity of value and use value. To produce products, he should not only produce and use value, but also produce and use value for others, that is, the use value of the production society. To become a commodity, products must be exchanged and transferred to users. Finally, nothing can be value but the use of projects. If a commodity is useless and the labor it contains is useless, it will not form value. Therefore, the process of exchange plays a key role here, cleverly meeting the requirements of different users and realizing the value and use value of goods. Aware of the meaning of the commodity itself.

On the other hand, the process of commodity exchange is also the process of creating wealth. Exchange creates wealth. As the book says, in a society where the capitalist mode of production dominates, what are the manifestations of social wealth? Huge commodity accumulation? . Wealth is acquired through the deprivation of surplus value. Because of the exchange process, goods are transferred from people who regard it as non-use value to people who regard it as use value. This process is a social material exchange here. A product with a useful working mode replaces a product with another useful working mode. When a commodity reaches the place where it has use value, it shifts from the exchange field of commodities to the consumption field. Commodities have currency and circulation in the market because of exchange. The direct circulation mode of commodities is WGW, but as the capital currency, it is GWG. This makes sense between GWG, because GWG? ，G？ =G+G is to add a value-added amount to the original amount of money paid. The balance whose added value exceeds the original value is called surplus value. Therefore, commodities create surplus value through exchange with money as the medium. That is, creating wealth.

Therefore, exchange is the process of commodity formation and development. It is also a means for commodities to realize their meaning. It is of great significance in the development of capitalist economy.

Article 2:

The first time I saw Das Kapital was in the winter vacation of my freshman year at 1999. At that time, I was just 18 years old and just stepped into the threshold of youth. I started rereading Das Kapital this winter and just turned 28. I think the decade from 18 to 28 is very important for any young person. Because there are many setbacks to experience, many difficulties to face, many problems to solve and a lot of knowledge to learn in this decade. Facing the unknown world and increasing responsibilities, everyone is in urgent need of ideological guidance. Looking back now, I think the classic books I read have given me the greatest guidance in my life. Das Kapital is a very important book.

Looking back on this decade, what influence has Das Kapital had on me?

First of all, "Das Kapital" made me understand my social status clearly, let me know the people and things around me correctly, let me define the goal of my efforts and guide me to formulate the correct strategy.

First of all, let's talk about the recognition of our social status. Marx said? People are the sum of social relations? To understand a person, we must first understand his social relations. In China, farmers are a completely marginalized group. With the adoption of capitalism in the process of industrialization, farmers have only one way out: bankruptcy. The exploitation of farmers is getting more and more serious, and the living resources in rural areas are getting less and less, which leads to the depression of rural economy and the disintegration of rural social relations. In fact, the depression of rural economy is the root cause of the disintegration of rural social relations. If a person's own life is difficult, he will certainly want to get help from others, and he will have great pressure to help others. With this kind of psychological experience, we can understand the human accidents in rural areas. Understand the human feelings in the countryside. Actually, can you blame others for being snobbish? Can you blame others for being snobbish? Can you blame others for not being affectionate? Living in that social position, selfishness and shamelessness have become the instinct of survival. Ask yourself, what is the essential difference between what I do and what they do? Maybe it's just that I can reflect on myself.

For me, the college entrance examination is definitely a very important thing in my life. Although I didn't go to a good university, I didn't learn much useful knowledge in it, but after all, I climbed out of the countryside and was liberated from that acre of land. Although the future is uncertain and even risky, the level of people and things I contact is obviously much higher than that in the countryside, so there are many more opportunities.
