国际金融经济危机爆发到今天已经接近5年,但是仍然没有结束的迹象,因此关于其性质和前景产生了大量争论。本文概括地介绍了这些论述的主要观点和分歧,比如短期金融危机论、世界体系危机论、生产过剩过度竞争危机论、新自由主义积累结构危机论、垄断资本晚期危机论、重大科技创新缺乏危机论和资源环境危机论,等等。文章通过评析这些观点认为,当前这场世界资本主义危机是资本主义最高(最后)阶段即帝国主义阶段晚期性质的危机。从这一界定出发,所得出的关于危机前景的看法,就与新自由主义、新凯恩斯主义和西方不少左翼学者的观点很不相同。 Nearly five years have passed since the outbreak of the international financial and economic crisis, but there are still no signs of ending. As a result, there has been a great deal of debate about its nature and prospects. This article provides an overview of the main points and disagreements of these discourses, such as the short-term financial crisis theory, the world system crisis theory, the over-competition over-production crisis theory, the neoliberal accumulation structure crisis theory, the monopoly capital late crisis theory and the major science and technology innovation crisis On the theory of resource and environment crisis, and so on. By reviewing these views, the article argues that the current crisis of world capitalism is the crisis of the late (highest) (final) stage of capitalism, the late nature of the imperialist phase. From this definition, the views we have drawn on the prospects of the crisis are very different from those of neo-liberalism, neo-Keynesianism and many leftist scholars in the West.
