Value, rent and platform capitalism
How is value produced and distributed under conditions of platform capitalism? This chapter attempts an initial answer to these questions by, first, critiquing the dominant 'free labour' thesis posed by the followers of Dallas Smythe and the work of many autonomist Marxists. Second, this chapter proposes an alternative approach based around rent and rentierism, building off of a recent resurgence in interest around these concepts. The consequence…
The eyes of the state: How central banks think
In November 2015, after weeks of bitter political rhetoric and much discussion about the consequences of the proposed changes, the UK Tory government reversed their decision to eliminate tax credits for the poorest. While much was made of this reversal, particularly who deserved responsibility for the change, a more subtle politics was going on behind the scenes. The primary justification for the reversal, given by the Chancellor George Osborne, …
The challenges of platform capitalism: Understanding the logic of a new business model
The platform business model is predicated upon a voracious appetite for data that can only be sated by disregard for privacy (and often workers' rights), and constant outward expansion. As they become ever more central to the global economy, Nick Srnicek argues that it's incumbent on us to understand how they function.
Towards a Fairer Gig Economy
'Towards a Fairer Gig Economy' is a small collection of articles examining the social and economic problems associated with the 'gig economy'. The gig economy includes a wide range of labour carried out by workers providing services as couriers, taxi drivers, online freelancers and more. Issues examined include an over-supply of labour, falling wages, long hours and poor working conditions. Each article makes suggestions for how these problems ca…
Imaginaires post-travail
La gauche devrait se mobiliser autour d'un consensus sur le post-travail. Cela lui permettrait de viser non seulement des gains appréciables - tels que la réduction de la corvée et de la pauvreté - mais aussi la construction, chemin faisant, d'une puissance politique. Cela implique au moins trois revendications : l'automation aussi complète que possible, une réduction du temps de travail sans réduction des salaires et l'instauration d'un revenu d…
Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work
Against the confused understanding of our high-tech world by both the right and the left, this book claims that the emancipatory and future-oriented possibilities of our society can be reclaimed
Manifeste accélérationniste
L'avenir a besoin d'être construit. Il a été démoli par le capitalisme néolibéral pour être réduit à une promesse à prix réduit d'inégalités croissantes, de conflits et de chaos. L'effondrement de l'idée d'avenir est symptomatique du statut historique régressif de notre époque, bien davantage que d'une maturité sceptique, comme les cyniques essaient de nous le faire croire de tous les bords du champ politique. Il faut casser la coquille de l'aven…
