The increasing use of data in various parts of the economic and socialsystems is creating a new form of monopoly: data monopolies. We illustrate thatthe companies using these strategies, Datalists, are challenging the existingdefinitions used within Monopoly Capital Theory (MCT). Datalists are pursuing adifferent type of monopoly control than traditional multinational corporations.They are pursuing monopolistic control over data to feed their productiveprocesses, increasingly controlled by algorithms and Artificial Intelligence(AI). These productive processes use information about humans and the creativeoutputs of humans as the inputs but do not classify those humans as employees,so they are not paid or credited for their labour. This paper provides anoverview of this evolution and its impact on monopoly theory. It concludes withan outline for a research agenda for economics in this space.
