生产方式是一个具有独立性的概念,它由生产的技术条件与社会条件构成。由于生产力和生产关系的构成都包含在生产的技术条件与社会条件之中,因此,两者中的任何一方发生变化都会导致生产方式变化,即两者都是生产方式的决定因素。只是因为生产力的技术构成方面在马克思的分析框架中是外生的,才导致了"生产力-生产方式-生产关系"这样一个公式。但是,由于生产力社会构成本身是以生产关系的形式表现出来的且是内生于马克思的经济系统的,再用"生产力-生产方式-生产关系"这个公式就很牵强了。
Production mode is an independent concept,which is composed of the technical condition of production and social condition.Since the formation of productivity and production relations are all included in the technical condition of production and social condition,the change from either side will lead to the change of production mode.That is to say,both sides are the decisive factors of production mode.Only because the technical formation of productivity is exogenous and not included in the analysis framework of Marxism,can the equations of "productivity-production mode –production relations: come into being.However,since the social formation of productivity is embodied in the way of production relations and it is also endogenous in Marxism economic system,the use of this equation is too farfetched.
