Abstract

Title in Chinese: 生产完整性与对劳动力生产的实际掌控能力——马克思主义政治经济学的当代重构(以数字资本主义为视角) This study takes digital capitalism as the analytical perspective and centers on the core propositions of "production integrity" and "actual control capacity over labor power production". Based on the fundamental principles of Marxist political economy, it systematically dissects the new manifestations of capitalist production relations under the penetration of digital technology, and explores the theoretical path for the contemporary reconstruction of Marxist political economy. By sorting out the evolutionary logic of capital accumulation, labor process transformation, and the reconstruction of control mechanisms in the digital era, the research responds to the theoretical challenges that digitalization poses to traditional political economy. It aims to construct a more explanatory analytical framework for understanding the operational laws of modern capitalism and the essential characteristics of capital's domination in the digital age.
