中国消费主义的成因是权力驱动。权力驱动下的中国消费主义主要表现在两个方面,一是政府引导消费,消费主义与发展主义和社会稳定有着直接的关联;二是权力主体的高消费和奢侈消费,包括公款消费和私人出资的权力主体消费。权力对消费主义的驱动加大了消费差距、加剧了社会矛盾、损害了政权合法性,给生态环境带来了破坏。
Chinese consumerism results from power drive. The power-driven consumerism is shown by two sides: first, since government guides consumption, consumerism is directly related to developmentalism and social stability ; second, the high consumption and luxurious consumption of the main power include consumption using public funds and private-funded consumption of the main power. The power-driven consumerism expands the consumption gap, intensifies social conflict and endangers the legality of authority and thus damages ecological environment.
