2022年以来，国际金融市场出现激烈动荡，给全球经济稳定和国际秩序带来新的挑战。许多国家货币急剧贬值，一些发展中国家出现资本外流、偿债成本上升、输入性通胀加剧等问题，部分国家甚至陷入货币或债务危机。从表面上看，美国加息以及俄乌冲突是引发上述问题的直接结果；从其深层根源来看，则依然未能跳出列宁在“帝国主义论”中的视野，即源于金融资本的扩张以及帝国主义的寄生性和腐朽性。金融资本的全球扩张与掠夺暴露了帝国主义的深层次矛盾，不仅使国际金融市场发生动荡，还将对国际格局产生重要影响。
Since 2022，there has been intense turbulence in international financial markets，bringing new challenges to global economic stability and the international order. Many national currencies have depreciated sharply，some developing countries have experienced capital outflows，rising debt servicing costs and increased imported inflation. Some countries have even fallen into currency or debt crises. On the surface，it seems that the U.S.interest rate hike and the Russia-Ukraine conflict are the direct reasons of the above problems；in fact，their deeper roots still fail to go beyond Lenin’s vision in the Theory of Imperialism raised in “Imperialism，the Highest Stage of Capitalism”，which means that they all come from the expansion of financial capital and the parasitic and decaying nature of imperialism. The global expansion and plundering of financial capital have exposed the deep-rooted contradictions of imperialism，which will not only cause turmoil in the international financial market，but also have an important impact on the international pattern.
