A Study On Political Economy Of Platform Monopoly Of Western Developed Countries

In recent years,platforms for rapid expansion in the capital market of western developed countries have fallen into trouble,which have triggered a hot debate on platform monopoly and platform anti-monopoly.This requires the academic circle to seriously examine and think about the capital monopoly of platform.The research on the monopoly of platform has important theoretical significance,which is helpful to absorb the reasonable parts of foreign Marxist monopoly capital theories,so that is conducive to enhancing the academic discourse power of Marxist theory of monopoly.In addition,the research of monopoly platform has important practical significance for our country.The governance of platform business is a realistic choice to implement the new concept on development and construct the new pattern on development,and is beneficial to modernization of national governance system and it’s capacity of governance.With the scientific analysis of platform monopoly capital in western developed countries,we can draw lessons from the beneficial components of foreign Marxist theory of monopoly capital.Because it inherits the classical Marxist monopoly theory to some extent,which highlights the duality of monopoly,emphasizes the negative role of monopoly and points out the positive role of monopoly.Marxist theory about reproduction shows the basic steps of economic operation.And the purpose of governance about platform business is to promote the progress of the platform economy.At the same time,some theoretical viewpoints of foreign Marxist political economy and western economics are also helpful for understanding the problem about platform monopoly.From the point of view from Marxist political economics,drawing lessons from the latest research of platform capitalism,using methods of theoretical analysis,comparative analysis and data analysis,this paper focuses on understanding the monopoly of platform,why it is necessary to against the monopoly and how to object to it.The research suggests that platform monopoly capital in western developed countries has new connotation and characteristics,which is different from traditional monopoly capital but connects with each other.Although platform monopoly capital is presented with a new form,which still does not be far away from the capital logic of traditional monopoly capital,reflecting the latest form of economic organization based on capital-centered production.The root cause of platform monopoly capital lies in capital accumulation,the characteristics of platform itself become the internal cause of platform monopoly capital,and the market environment is the external cause of platform monopoly capital.In different historical stages,the platform monopoly capital plays different roles,where there are both positive and negative aspects.At present,the negative effect of platform monopoly capital is prominent,so it is the time that government should take some measures to govern platform business.The research of platform monopoly capital in western developed countries is an important reference for the governance of our platform business.It is based on sufficient political and economical principles to govern platform business,which is the objective requirement of the dialectical law of productive forces and production relations,is the external presentation of socialist essence,and is the realistic need of the modernization of national governance.To govern platform business,the government should adopt a correct political and economic yardstick,which should neither be too strict nor too lenient.It’s necessary to consider whether it is conducive to promote high-quality social economic development,to maintain fair competition and enterprise innovation,to improve people’s level of well-being and achieve common prosperity.Eventually,platform business is a comprehensive economic problem,which should be dealt with from the overall perspective of the combination of market economic subjects,market regulatory subjects,other market participants and platform enterprises themselves.
