Der Autor fragt nach den Auswirkungen der zunehmenden Digitalisierung auf die Menschen und die Gesellschaft als Ganzes. Er beschreibt im Folgenden Risiken und Chancen für soziale Innovationen und sozialen Fortschritt. Zu den Risiken zählt er die Zunahme der digitalen Spaltung und Polarisierung der Gesellschaft, die Entgrenzung und Verdichtung von Arbeit sowie die Datensicherheit. Als mögliche soziale Innovationen nennt er z.B. vermehrte digitale Angebote der öffentlichen Verwaltung, eine flächendeckende digitale Daseinsvorsorge und neue, lebensphasenorientierte Arbeitszeitmodelle. 'Dann könnten wir auch mehr und vor allem bessere personenbezogene Dienstleistungen nutzen, wenn zum Beispiel zahlreiche Gesundheitsberufe von zuvor sehr zeitaufwendigen und als Belastung empfundenen Dokumentationstätigkeiten befreit werden dürften.'

How does financialisation affect the relationship between non-financial industrial capital and finance? This article argues that their relationship must not be conceived of as an external one, i.e. as the more or less close connection between institutionally separate economic sectors. Financial dominance should be seen instead as something that is internal to industrial capital. The theory and practice of shareholder value are the most prominent expression of this. Marx' analysis of the different circuits of industrial capital (in Vol. II of Capital) helps to understand the historically variable modes of articulation between non-financial industry and finance. Furthermore it provides conceptual tools to grasp the current financial dominance within industrial capital and can thus help to understand how it differs from the finance capital described by Hilferding.
