Marxist economics has experienced further expansion，enrichment and innovation in its research topics，systemic structure，and theoretical explorations in the past century. In the evolution of economic globalizalion，Marxist economics has extended its study to the coexistence of the economic relations of developed capitalist countries and those of the economically backward countries，and the coexistence of capitalistic economic relations and socialist ones. From the dependency theory in the 1960s to the world system theory in the 1980s，and then to the globalization theory today，research on the international relations of capitalist production has to some extent enriched the systemic structure of Marxist economics. With the deepening of economic globalization, the development and innovation of some important theories in Marxist economics have become an unavoidable task.
