WHAT DOES ECONOMIC DETERMINISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Economic determinism

Economic determinism is the theory of history that holds that economic relationships are the foundation on which all other social and political arrangements are built. In the Marxist version associated with the Karl Marx, the emphasis is on the exploitation of the worker class which needs to revolt and overthrow capitalism. Marxist thinkers have dismissed plain and unilateral economic determinism as a form of "vulgar Marxism", or "economism", nowhere included in Marx's works. In the writing of American history the term is associated with historian Charles A. Beard, who was not a Marxist but who emphasized the long-term political contest between bankers and business interest on the one hand, and agrarian interests on the other.
