在过去40年里，资本主义变得更加复杂化、重新配置化和外包化。一种匿名资本主义即“平台资本主义”已经出现。数字工作意味着一种“新的工薪精神”，它与资本主义的新精神相一致，都加剧了地方和全球工作制度的霸权主义强度。新的社会不平等在赛博无产阶级、赛博中产阶级和赛博上层阶级的生产中形成。在情感资本主义的背景下，个体在工作中陷入异质性和自主性的双重困境。在数字经济中，压缩的个体内化了面对经济约束的指令，并在全球社会中生产了自我优化和表演自我的叙事。这种压缩的个体在国际数字经济中变得越来越全球化。

Over the past 40 years, capitalism has become more complex, reconfigured, and outsourced. A faceless capitalism, i.e., platform capitalism, has appeared. Digital work means a “new spirit of wage-earning, ” which is in line with the new spirit of capitalism by exacerbating the intensity of hegemonic local and global work regimes. New social inequalities are produced in the production of cyber-proletariats, cyber upper-classes, and cyber middle classes. Individuals are caught in double-bind situations between heteronomy and autonomy at work in a context of emotional capitalism. In the digital economy, the compressed individuals have internalized the injunction to face economic constraints and produce a narrative of self-optimization/performing self in a global society. The compressed individuals are more and more globalized in international digital economies.
