摘要

本文評述「知識經濟」的定義與概念問題，兼論台灣在所謂「知識經濟」或知識資本主義體系中的發展機會與問題。首先，歐洲經濟合作暨發展組織(OECD)所定義的知識經濟在表面上較有系統，實際論述有其內在偏誤。我國追隨此一流行風潮，卻未經過深刻的檢討與批判，如此擬定、執行的「知識經濟發展方案」與相關政策思維必然是片面的，效果恐難令人滿意。其次，所謂知識經濟只是新瓶舊酒，實際上是資本主義最新的轉型階段，而且資本主義生產方式的剝削與壓迫問題並未因知識經濟而解決。最後，本文認為，台灣應該從全球、區域、國家三個不同的層次著眼，制定政策與計畫，才能在資本主義中求生與發展，而非追求流行的口號。

The paper criticizes the definitional and conceptual difficulties of ”knowledge-based economy”, on the one hand, and discusses how Taiwan should try to survive and develop in the contemporary capitalism, on the other. First, the definition of the OECD seems to be systematic, but the arguments are characterized by biases. The Taiwanese state copies the catchword, formulating plans and policies without profound examination and criticism, which makes one doubt the effectiveness of those policies as they are partial. Second, there is nothing new about the concept of ”knowledge-based economy” because it is just a new name of the capitalism currently in reorganizing. Moreover, the exploitative and repressive features of capitalist mode of production remain. Lastly, the author argues that the Taiwanese state should formulate plans in view of global, regional, and national politico-economic structures to survive and develop in the contemporary capitalism.
