<nettime> Two New Articles on Capitalism |
Hello nettime, here are two new articles on Capitalism. # Capital Doesn't Automate, It Entangles! # One is about the prospect of automation leading to increased leisure under Capitalism: "Rather than a future characterized by gleaming fully automated robot factories producing untold wealth while humans enjoy a life of leisure and pursuit of higher consciousness, a more realistic vision of capitalist automation is the panicked teenager frantically responding to various beeps and buzzers and flashing lights in the kitchen of a fast-food restaurant." ### --> http://j.mp/capital-entangles # Insurgent Finance! # The other is about the prospect of a junk bond financed insurgent Venture Communism: "Milken believed that he was a liberator that broke open the Capitalist vaults, getting Capital in the hands of a new generation of businesses that would otherwise have been shut out by the conservative old elite. In some sense that is true. Milken helped fuel the rise of many insurgents into a previously well-heeled old guard, notably himself and the likes of Rupert Murdoch." ### --> http://j.mp/insurgent-finance Comments and feedback welcome as always.
