虚拟经济:资本主义生产方式转变的有效工具

Virtual Economy:An Effective Tool for Transformation of the Capitalist Mode of Production

追溯马克思主义经典著作,“生产力—生产关系”分析范式的准确表述应为“生产力—生产方式—生产关系”。本文认为,后者的逻辑更为严密,更能体现经济活动和人类社会发展的本质。从这一分析范式入手,本文分析了虚拟经济的泛化导致当今发达资本主义国家在生产方式即“保证自己生活的方式”方面的主要变化:生产对物质资本的依赖程度降低;劳动者摆脱生产资本的控制成为可能;劳动者的收入来源扩大;人们的消费内容改变;劳动的专业化水平提高,从而改变了劳动对资本的绝对依附关系。这些变化使得以资本对劳动和人的统治为主要特征的资本主义生产方式发生转变。而虚拟经济正是实现这一转变的有效工具。

The author points out that an accurate expression of the analysis paradigm ＂productive force-production relations＂ in classics of Marxism should be ＂productive force-production mode-production relations＂, as the latter can better reflect the essence of economic activities and human social development in a more logical way. Starting from the analysis of this paradigm, the paper then discusses the major changes in the mode of production, that is, the ＂mode that secures our own life＂, in the developed capitalist countries, which has been a consequence of the general development of virtual economy. These changes include the following： reduced reliance of production on the material capital, possibilities for the laborers to get rid of the control of production capital, more sources of income, changes in the needs of the consumers, higher professional level of the laborers, and hence labor is freed from the capital. All these changes have led to transformation of the capitalist mode of production marked by the control of capital over labor and labors. In this sense, virtual economy is an effective tool to ensure that this transformation can take place.
