Abstract: Marx systematically expounded the theory of economic forms when examining the “labor process” in Chapter 5 of Capital, Volume I. Since Marx explained the economic forms by putting aside the social relations of production in the labor process, his theory of economic forms, falling under the category of productivity, is a scientific theory that reveals the general laws of the evolution of economic forms, thus becoming a theoretical weapon to explain the evolution of economic forms from agricultural economy to industrial economy, and from industrial economy to digital economy. The theoretical and empirical analysis of agricultural economy, industrial economy and digital economy by Western economists has once again verified the scientific and universal applicability of Marxs theory of economic forms. Today, when the digital economy has become a key force in reallocating global factor resources, reshaping the global economic structure, and changing the global competitive landscape, to gain an upper hand in the development of the global digital economy, we must promote the innovation of adapting Marxs theory of  economic forms to the Chinese context and the needs of our times and build a new theory of digital economy with Chinese characteristics in the new era that lays a solid theoretical foundation for the development of the digital economy.

Key words: Marxs theory of economic forms, agricultural economy, industrial economy, digital economy, adapted to the Chinese context and the needs of our times
