信息革命极大地推进了虚拟经济的发展。从广义上讲,虚拟经济是创造和满足人的心理需求的经济,具有的是信息本质而非物质本质。虚拟经济中的金融活动在当代日益呈现出信息主义的特征,财富的飞速增长不再取决于实体经济而是取决于金融信息活动,体现出一种“信息比实物更重要”的新的经济哲学。但金融危机和经济泡沫的出现又最终表明,虚拟经济不可能脱离实体经济,经济活动的过度虚拟化不利于经济的健康持续发展。 The information revolution has greatly promoted the development of fictitious economy. In a broad sense, the fictitious economy is an economy that creates and meets the psychological needs of people and possesses the essence of information rather than the essence of matter. The financial activities in the fictitious economy are increasingly characterized by informationism in the contemporary era. The rapid growth of wealth no longer depends on the real economy but on the activity of financial information, which shows a new “information is more important than the kind” Economic philosophy. However, the emergence of the financial crisis and economic bubble has finally shown that the virtual economy can not be separated from the real economy. Over-virtualization of economic activities is not conducive to the healthy and sustainable economic development.
