Abstract

When every day not only the average citizens, but also the political and intellectual elites of nations are concerned with current matters such as: the standard of living, income, the rates of the deposits and credits, difficulties in finding work and the growing unemployment, the budget deficit some are interested in stock-exchange etc. We need to consider the general tendencies and see if there is a scientific exploration of the social-economic progress. The main idea of this paper is the conclusion that there is such a theory which is having its renaissance it is the theory formulated by Karl Marx. Bringing out the necessary quotations I prove that besides the method of scientific research and the anatomical approach in the analysis of the material, spiritual, political, environmental, etc. sides of social life, the theoretical rules of Marx, are valid in many fields of the social process, such as: 1) the forsaken globalism and the internationalization of contradictions of the capitalist social-economical formation prodded; 2) the contradiction of the capital and labour as the basic contradiction of capitalism in the field of economy and transferring this contradiction to the world scale; 3) the relative poverty of the world of work which is manifested in the increase from the 60's of the 20th century of the stratification income and financial status of the most developed capitalist countries, not to mention the scale of this stratification in the countries transforming from real-socialism to capitalism; 4) the assignation of the sense and method of the so-called primary accumulation including the change of time and the current phase of civilization; 5) the theory of the so-called "relative overpopulation" in our days confirmed by the type of technical progress, which is remarkably antiemployment; 6) capitalism produces antagonist forces. Nowadays these are the anti-globalist movements, although they lack a unifying ideology and prospective goals.
