Abstract:

Since the publication of Commonwealth in 2009,there have been controversies between the authors,i.e.,Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri,and David Harvey on the latest development of capitalism,philosophical methods and practical revolutionary strategies.The main differences include:how to understand the information society and virtual capital in globalization;how to evaluate the materialism of Spinoza in the radical philosophy today;and what is the relationship between commons and class struggles.As a result,Harvey begins to discuss Marx's value theory again in his recent seminars and forthcoming publications.This paper argues that,facing the rise of the 4^th Industrial Revolution,we should pay more attentions to Harvey's studies on contemporary capitalism.

Key words: virtual capital, the commons, immaterial labor, class-monopoly rent, value system
