1844 "Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts" is an early manuscript of Marx's first attempt to critically examine the capitalist economic system and bourgeois political economy, and to preliminarily expound his new economic, philosophical views and communist thoughts.

The theory of alienated labor is the most important content in this manuscript, which involves Marx's criticism of national economics and his understanding of workers' alienation, and contains profound humanistic connotation. Private Property and Communism and Criticism and Prospect criticized and absorbed Hegel.

It is worth noting that since then, Marx has basically never used the word "alienation". This shows that this view reflects the immature understanding of capitalism by early Marx.

However, western Marxism reinterprets Marx's classic works from alienation.

Understand:

The manuscript specifically reveals the real life state of the proletariat in the capitalist society at that time (pointing out that the life of workers is not the normal state of human beings but the alienated state), probes into the root of the real life state of workers (on the basis of investigating human nature and humanity), and outlines the state of human freedom and all-round development. The realization of Scientific Outlook on Development is a great and vivid social practice, which emphasizes "people-oriented" as the fundamental purpose and requirement of economic and social construction, so that people's essential attributes can be fully and completely displayed in the magnificent social development practice.

People-oriented, non-alienated people-oriented, the unity of ordinary people and concrete people, the unity of realistic people and ideal people, and the unity of man and nature are the original thinking to fully explain the nature of scientific development.

Man is the subject and master of the country and society, and also the subject of all social activities. All production and economic activities are people's activities and also serve the people. Without this, it is impossible to achieve real success in material production and even the development of the country and society, and alienation will inevitably occur. "Scientific Outlook on Development is used to guide development. It is meaningless to leave the theme of development. " Scientific Outlook on Development's first priority is development, but this people-oriented development view has always emphasized that "man" is the maker and perfecter of development theory, and that man is both the driving force and the purpose of development, and all development should be centered around "man", so it can surpass the values of "material-oriented" or "profit-oriented" pursued by pure materialism and the behaviors and practices of simply instrumentalizing people.
