摘要:资本主义再生产无论是在逻辑上还是在历史上,都与权力精英化有着深刻的内生关系,资本金融权力体系的全时空场域作为资本主义再生产的现实产物在精英阶层的精神创意中得以推进。全时空场域是资本在21世纪最大的变化与最新的总体性形态,它与权力精英化之间存在着正反馈关系。精英阶层所拥有的市场权力在市场机制持续推进中的力量与方向促进了资本金融权力体系的生成,其中金融从业人员构成看得见的载体、他们的奔走与撮合构成看得见的行走、国际资本金融权力体系构成资本权力看不见的灵魂。如果要在资本金融层面实现“金融之美”,必然存在资本金融权力体系的历史化,这一过程不仅会带来资本积累与贫困积累在发达国家与发展中国家的分化,而且会导致“金融殖民”的可能性与现实性,并最终形成国际资本金融权力体系对人类生存世界的支配。健全“高度适应性、竞争力、普惠性的现代金融体系”需要金融的否定主义审美,只有这样才能在21世纪国际资本金融权力体系的汪洋大海中驶出有中国特色的金融航母。

Summary: The “Beauty of Finance” refers to the aesthetic experience in discovering the hidden symmetry of finance, and it particularly offers help to the creative understanding of the allocation of economic resource and the creation of life necessities. The term was first proposed by Robert J. Schiller in his book Finance and the Good Society. The “Beauty of Finance” involves three characteristics: promoting human being’s pursuit of new freedom, seeking the maximum share of wealth by enhancing close connections through “married deals”, and achieving social diversity through serving both personal and social needs. Whereas the finance presents its beauty, it also cannot avoid the impact of evil. Capitalism reproduction is closely related to the elitism of power both logically and historically, and the space-temporal field in the capital financial power system which functions as a realistic product of capitalist reproduction is hard to be promoted in the elites’ spiritual creativity. Moreover, there is a positive feedback between the totality of the space-temporal field and the elitism of power, because the market power owned by elites promotes the formation of the capital financial power system as follows. The financial practitioners form the visible carrier of capital, their moving and marrying activities form the visible flow of capital, and the international capital financial power system constitutes the overall framework of the invisible modern international financial activities, thus maintaining the hidden chains between creditors and debtors and forming the invisible soul of capital power.Three dimensions mentioned above is hidden by the triple theoretical dilemma in the “Beauty of Finance”: the concentration of capital power and high capital return under the law of profit rate decline; social wealth division between the capital accumulation and poverty accumulation; the financialized world as a world of financial colonization in essence. Financial colonization is further embodied in the following three aspects: capital plunders the resources of less developed and underdeveloped countries and regions; capital plunders social labors in labor-intensive industries; and capital plunders labor force in labor-intensive countries and regions. Therefore, financial colonization is essentially a domination of international capital financial power over the living world. In a deep level, Schiller’s “Beauty of Finance” demonstrates an illusion. Nevertheless, we agree with Schiller’s view, as it reveals the deep contradiction in the financialized world. Building a highly adaptable, competitive and inclusive modern financial system needs the aesthetic negation of finance, and only by this can our international capital and financial power system in the 21st century sail out with Chinese characteristics.
