諾貝爾經濟學獎得主克魯曼在Substack發文,探討私人企業掌握關鍵通訊對國家安全的影響。
諾貝爾經濟學獎得主克魯曼(Paul Krugman)以台灣空軍使用的F-16戰機為例,質疑私人企業是否應掌握足以影響國家安全的關鍵支援,並主張美國政府應收回億萬富豪馬斯克(Elon Musk)對「星鏈」(Starlink)的控制權。他認為,星鏈已是現代戰爭的重要通訊系統,哪些國家能使用這項服務,不應由企業主個人決定。
克魯曼在個人評論平台Substack發表題為《是時候把星鏈從馬斯克手中收回了》(It's Time to Take Starlink Away from Elon Musk)的文章。Substack是讓作者發表電子報與評論、並可透過訂閱收費的網路平台。克魯曼聚焦烏克蘭星鏈服務受限的爭議,認為私人企業掌握關鍵戰時通訊的使用權,可能牽動國家安全與戰爭局勢。
克魯曼提出假設情境:台灣空軍使用美國洛克希德・馬丁公司(Lockheed Martin)製造的F-16戰機,假如該公司為了與中國達成商業交易,突然切斷零件、升級、彈藥及電腦網路支援,削弱台灣防衛能力,華府是否會容許企業以財產權為由拒絕恢復支援?他藉此主張,私人財產權並非毫無界線,當企業行為涉及國家安全,政府應有權介入。
克魯曼也援引第二次世界大戰期間的案例。美國總統羅斯福(Franklin D. Roosevelt)政府當年曾接管零售商蒙哥馬利沃德公司(Montgomery Ward)的設施,以處理勞資爭議對戰時動員造成的影響。克魯曼以此說明,政府介入私人企業不必然等同永久國有化,也可能是為了確保國家安全與戰時需求。
克魯曼主張,現代戰爭中的通訊與即時資訊具有關鍵作用,決定哪些國家能使用星鏈,涉及外交與國防政策,不應由企業主獨自掌握。他呼籲美國政府設法收回馬斯克對星鏈的控制權。
