金融化的21世纪，国际资本头寸背后隐藏着资本与资源的双向流动机制，这种双向流动机制必然导致资本积累与贫困积累加剧。《21世纪资本论》中资本概念的内涵及其揭示的不平等真实地体现了21世纪资本金融化的经济现实，但是，作者用“头寸相等”形成的数据幻象表达了资本带来的不平等问题更多地集中在一个国家内部而不是国家之间，这一结论与21世纪资本的本质之间存在明显矛盾。其实，21世纪资本带来的经济不平等就时间向度而言，不仅包含一国内部的富人和穷人之间的不平等，还包含当代人与后代之间的不平等；就空间向度而言，更是发达国家与发展中国家、国家内部发达地区与欠发达地区之间的不平等，而且空间向度的不平等是时间向度不平等的原因，而不是相反。
International Capital Position and Global Economic Inequalities:
Reinterpreting Capital in the 21st Century
NING Dianxia （Xi’an Fanyi University）
Abstract:At present,the mechanism of mutual flow between capital and resources,hidden behind international capital position,will inevitably lead to the increase in capital accumulation and the aggravation of poverty.The connotation of capital and inequality revealed in Capital in the 21st Century truly demonstrates the reality of financialization in this century.However,the author holds the argument with the data illusion that two positions are more or less equal to state that the unequal capital position is concentrated within a country rather than between countries,but such an argument obviously contradicts with the real situation of capital distribution in the 21st century.
In fact,viewed from a temporal perspective,the economic inequality in the 21st century includes not only the unequal capital distribution between the rich and the poor within a country,but the inequality between different generations.From a spacial perspective,capital inequality covers not only developed countries and developing countries in a global scope,but developed regions and underdeveloped regions within different countries.Moreover,spatial inequality results in temporal inequality,not the other way around.
Key words:financialization;Capital in the 21st Century;data illusion;capital flows; resource flows
