The Employing Nature of"Non-Employment Digital Labor"——An Examination Based on Marx's Theory of Employment Labor
Marx believed that employment labor is not just a formal exchange activity between money and live labor,but es-sentially a labor that sets and produces capital.It is a production labor under capitalist production relations,and a process of separation and combination between laborers and means of production.The rise of the concept of"non-employment digital la-bor"reflects the new forms and changes of labor in the digital economy era,and also causes scholars to debate and discuss whether there is exploitation and surplus value in"non-employment digital labor".Drawing on Marx's theory of employment la-bor can help us understand the productive and employable nature of"non-employment digital labor",comprehensively under-stand the process of"non-employment digital labor",and also help us deeply explore the new characteristics of"non-employment digital labor"to develop and innovate Marx's theory of employment labor.
