Anthropomorphic Capital and Commonwealth Value
In this essay, we intend to analyze the process of accumulation of contemporary capitalism, in which the regime of valorization derive from the notion of "common" a "results of social production that are necessary for social interaction and further production, such as knowledges, languages, information affect, and so forth" (Hardt and Negri, 2009) and from its expropriation. When we deal with the concept of "common," the reference is made to a he…
Italian Perspectives on Pandemic Responses: Tracing Early Critiques from Europe’s First Lockdown
This paper is a translation of three early critiques of the responses of the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy, each addressing a unique facet and different perspective of Europe’s first lockdown. Through bringing together these memorial traces, the article captures the heterogeneity of discussions taking place on the left at the very beginning of the pandemic, destabilizing a totalizing framing of Covid responses through simple binaries such as health …
Cognitive Capitalism, Welfare and Labour: The Commonfare Hypothesis
This book deals with the transformations of both accumulation process and labour in the transition from a Fordist to a cognitive capitalism paradigm, with specific regard to Western economies. It outlines the advent, after industrial capitalism, of a new phase of the capitalist system in which the value of cognitive labour becomes dominant. In this framework, the central stakes of capital valorisation and forms of property are directly based on t…
Cryptocurrencies, Monetary Policy, and New Forms of Monetary Sovereignty
The article aims to bring to light the limits and contradictions of cryptocurrencies, as well as to investigate possible alternative uses of them. Particularly focusing on Bitcoin, understood as a benchmark for the entire sector, the authors seek to answer the following questions: Should Bitcoin be considered a currency, an investment vehicle, or a speculative asset? On which factors does Bitcoin volatility depend? Do Central Banks effectively ha…
Finance, Austerity and Commonfare
The links between the crisis of subprime mortgages and the so-called crisis of European sovereign debt are sometimes concealed, so as to create a veritable sense of shared guilt meant to sanction the legitimacy of the austerity policies that have been imposed by virtuous Northern European countries on the undeserving countries of Southern Europe. We will analyse three main aspects of the current crisis: (1) we will interpret the austerity policie…
Dochód podstawowy a wydajność w kapitalizmie kognitywnym
In this article, basic income (BI) will not be considered as a measure to raise living standards and social well-being. Rather, it will be presented as an indispensable structural policy for achieving a healthier social order governed by a more equitable compromise between capital and labor. Embracing the French Regulation School approach, we maintain that such a compromise is founded on the redistribution of productivity gains. Describing the dy…
Contemporary Capitalism as a New Monetary Economy of Production: The Logic of Conventions, M&A, and LBOs
The main changes of new capitalism concern mainly two spheres: the new technological paradigm and valorization process and the importance of finance. The main feature of the prevailing finance-led growth regime during the first decade of new millennium is then presented. In this perspective, particular attention is given to the analysis of the evolution and the logic characterizing mergers and acquisitions and leverage buyouts. After describing t…
A Financialized Monetary Economy of Production: Some Further Reflections
Badalian and Krivorotov (2012) not only acknowledge the strong link between the crisis of 2007 and the 1990s technological paradigm, but they also accept the complementarity between overinvestment in new technologies and increasing financial liquidity that we highlighted in our article "A Financialized Monetary Economy of Production." They argue that a similar trend seems to have also characterized Great Britain between the end of the nineteenth …
A Financialized Monetary Economy of Production
The monetary theory of production offers a systemic approach to describe systemic crises, but, faced with contemporary capitalism, it needs to be modified. In accordance with the Schumpeterian perspective, we adopt a framework that points to both the monetary nature of and qualitative changes in the capitalist system. The low level of wages, and the consequent underconsumption, is not the unique cause of the 2007-9 crisis. Not only has financiali…
Basic Income and Productivity in Cognitive Capitalism
In this article, basic income (BI) will not be considered as a measure to raise living standards and social well-being. Rather, it will be presented as an indispensable structural policy for achieving a healthier social order governed by a more equitable compromise between capital and labor. Embracing the French Regulation School approach, we maintain that such a compromise is founded on the redistribution of productivity gains. Describing the dy…
Segmentation du travail cognitif et individualisation du salaire
L'article traite de la transformation du travail et de la différenciation des salaires. Il montre la diffusion du travail cognitif à partir d'exemples empruntés au secteur de l'édition. Il définit tout d'abord le travail cognitif selon le rôle qu'y tiennent les activités relationnelles et les processus d'apprentissage. C'est le type travail qui permet d'exploiter les nouveaux types de rendements d'échelle croissants qui caractérisent l'accumulati…
Marché du travail, bioéconomie et revenu d'existence
La théorie orthodoxe de l'économie a fait l'erreur de supposer implicitement que le marché du travail pouvait être analysé sur les bases habituelles d'un marché de biens et de services. Le travail n'est pas une marchandise puisque par nature il n'est pas solvable, et qu'il ne le devient qu'à travers la disponibilité au travail qui permet au travailleur de définir une demande solvable. En fonction du rapport entre activité de travail et être humai…
Histoire du mouvement antiglobalisation en Italie
À Seattle comme à Gênes et à Porto Alegre, la composante italienne du mouvement No-Global est importante. Andrea Fumagalli reconstruit la genèse du mouvement des mouvements en Italie en analysant trois éléments fondamentaux : les centres Sociaux Occupés Autogérés, les revues critiques nées dans les années 1990, le développement de la musique underground. Après Gênes et New York, et face à l'offensive du gouvernement Berlusconi, le mouvement en It…
