Abstract

In Marx's age, the main form of alienation is labor alienation; consumption alienation is derived from labor alienation and appears as insufficient consumption. But as time went on, especially after the Second World War, the manifestation of consumption alienation changed from the alienation of insufficient consumption to the alienation of excessive consumption. This shift reflects the transition of the capitalist mode of production and way of exploitation. How to conceive the shift of the main manifestation of alienation from labor alienation and consumption alienation of insufficient consumption to the consumption alienation of excessive consumption? Our answer affects our view of today's capitalist system and Marxist alienation theory.
