Abstract:
According to Raul Prebisch,the peripheral capitalist countries,i.e. Latin American countries,aretypical privileged consumer society. The privileged class get huge economic surplus by economic,politicaland cultural privileges in a consumer society. Much of economic surplus is consumed by the privileged peoplethat follow the luxurious consumption patterns of central capitalist countries. The consequences are so seriousthat the reproduction capital accumulation has been tremendously wasted,the social system been short ofdynamic,and all kinds of crises emerged. Raul Prebisch’s theory of privileged consumer society can teach ussuch lessons:only when we fully implement the strategy of running the party with strict discipline,combatingcorruption,demolishing the fences protecting privileged interest groups,and regarding frugality as honorcan we avoid the development trap experienced by Latin American countries;and only if we take the road ofsocialism with Chinese characteristics can we achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
