Abstract:

Marxist theory on consumption analyzes the relationship among various factors in the development of consumption
and man and illuminates the importance of consumption for the healthy development of society and man. Currently，the rapid
development of economy has resulted in consumption alienation and excessive consumption，which seriously hinders the healthy
development of society and the construction of a harmonious society. To solve the problems in the consumption patterns，we
should guide people to establish a correct concept on consumption by learning from Marxist theory on consumption so as to
coordinate the relationship between consumption and man，between material consumption and spirit consumption，between
consumption and environment and to build a scientific concept on consumption which conforms to social development.

Key words: Marxist theory on consumption；China&rsquo, s modern concept on consumption；consumption ability；spirit consumption；
the healthy development of man
