Description
Cognitive Capitalism: A New Form of Economic Power. Yann Moulier-Boutang argues that we are living in a time of transition, but not to a new type of society called 'socialism'. Instead, it is a transition to a new form of capitalism, which he calls 'cognitive capitalism'. This new form of capitalism emerged since 1975 and has little to do with the industrial capitalism of the past. The author seeks to describe and explain the characteristics of this third age of capitalism, providing some basic orientations for political action. He believes that the traditional understanding of capitalism, born with Adam Smith, no longer offers a way to understand the world economic system or deal with its challenges. This book aims to put readers onto the path of a provisional politics and morality capable of addressing the new Great Transformation.
