Features: This book systematically elaborates on the historical logic of the formation and development of Marxist class theory from the perspective of Marxist political science, summarizes the basic content of Marxist class theory, analyzes the origin and characteristics of changes in the class and stratification structure of Chinese society at the current stage, and outlines the basic framework of the class and stratification structure of Chinese society at the current stage. On this basis, it conducts an in-depth analysis and exploration of the basic characteristics of each class and stratification in Chinese society at the current stage, their conflicting relationships, and the changing trends in the coming period. It also proposes several suggestions for addressing the class and stratification issues in Chinese society at the current stage from both theoretical and policy perspectives.
One of the most prominent features of this book is its adherence to the use of Marxist class perspectives and class analysis methods, providing a realistic description and analysis of the changes in the class and stratification structure of Chinese society at the current stage. Based on Marxist class theory and combined with the changing trends of the current economic relationships, the author boldly proposes criteria for defining classes in Chinese society at the current stage. It points out that the main contradiction in Chinese society is no longer class conflict, but class struggle will still exist in a certain scope for a long time, making class analysis a scientific method for studying and analyzing the class and stratification structure of Chinese society at the current stage.
The book also elaborates on the inherent consistency between Marxist class analysis and social stratification analysis. It advocates absorbing and learning from the reasonable aspects of Western bourgeois scholars' stratification analysis after recognizing its essence. While providing a comprehensive description of the current class and stratification structure in China, the book also conducts a relatively in-depth examination of the basic characteristics, social status, development trends, and the impact of various classes and strata on China's social development process.
The entire book strives to combine theory with practice, covering both substance and form, with a well-structured layout, clear viewpoints, fluent language, and relatively sufficient arguments, demonstrating strong exploratory qualities and a certain persuasive power.
