大數據資本主義：金融資本主義退位，重新定義市場、企業、金錢、銀行、工作與社會正義
Reinventing Capitalism in the Age of Big Data
Language: Chinese
Release Date: February 27, 2018
大數據塑造的新型資本主義，滔天浪潮已然來襲，
大數據權威麥爾荀伯格，再次提出他對這波新浪潮的獨到見解。 《大數據資本主義》將深入探究市場機制的演變、
企業面對的挑戰、金錢角色的定位、金融體系的未來、
工作機會的轉變，以及如何因應、並實現社會正義。
從二十世紀的金融資本主義，轉型到二十一世紀的數據資本主義，巨變已經發生，且正在加劇，規模和震度就相當於從農業社會轉型到工業社會。
麥爾荀伯格以具體的例證、深刻的思索，提出他所洞察到的種種問題、以及可能的解方：
．金錢的交易功能雖可維持，但金錢的資訊功能將被大數據（與富數據）接管，數據是新資本，代表金流、人流、物流的新趨向。
．金融資本開始貶值之後，哪些世代、哪些企業，將受到最嚴重的打擊？
．人工智慧介入企業的日常事務與決策流程，擁有哪種技能的人，難被取代？應當課徵「機器人稅」嗎？全民基本收入（UBI）能解決社會問題？我們能否把最重要的選擇權，握在自己手裡？
．傳統銀行有如駛進暴風圈的黃金商船，正面臨三大威脅，銀行該怎樣應對危局？
．超級巨星企業雄霸市場，少數人鯨吞了經濟成長的果實，面對富數據市場的「老大哥」，法規和稅制須如何因應，以促進多元性、避免集中化，讓市場更有效率、社會更永續？
數位化鞭策我們重新思考經濟的未來，而這本發人深省的著作，提供了絕佳的見解及指引。
