摘要:

在今天的许多研究和讨论中,数字资本主义以及数字经济发展模式在一定程度上被神话化和拜物教化。然而,马克思的历史唯物主义立场要求我们揭露其中的神话。借助马克思的《〈政治经济学批判〉导言》,我们可以揭示隐藏在绚丽数字外表下的资本主义生产逻辑。这个逻辑构成了我们对数字政治经济学批判的起点。从这个起点出发,我们发现了一般数据,这是理解数字资本主义条件下的生产一般的基础。因此,我们可以看到数字神话的奥秘所在,它实际上是资本通过一般数据来控制大量外溢到全世界的生产部门的工具。正是这一工具塑造了当今数字资本主义的神话帝国。然而,在这个神话背后仍然是马克思曾揭露过的资本的魔法。

Abstract:

In many contemporary studies and discussions, digital capitalism and the model of digital economic development have been somewhat mythologized and idolized. However, Marx’s position as a historical materialist requires us to uncover the myths behind it. By delving into Marx’s Grundrisse, we can reveal the capitalist production logic hidden beneath the captivating facade of numbers. This logic serves as the starting point for our critique of digital political economy. From this starting point, we discover the concept of general data, which forms the foundation for understanding production in the context of digital capitalism. Consequently, we can unravel the enigma of the digital myth, as it is, in fact, a tool employed by capital to control the vast production sectors that overflow into the global sphere. It is this tool that shapes the mythical empire of contemporary digital capitalism. Nevertheless, lurking behind this myth is the enduring magic of capital, as Marx had previously exposed.
