Capitalism Reinvents Itself The economics of a world of information and automation is radically different from that of a world of wheat, steel, and railroads.

Congratulations to Joel Mokyr, co-winner of the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for his work on the role of innovation in driving economic growth. His article, "Capitalism Reinvents Itself," appeared in the November 2013 issue of UC Press's @currenthistory1.bsky.social

This is a really nice, positive review of my book in the new issue of Surveillance & Society! It's also a great summary of the book, if you want to try it before you buy it.

The Mechanic and the Luddite - review - Red Pepper Jathan Sadowski's book lays the groundwork for a more cohesive resistance against capitalist technology, writes Paula Lacey

"The book does not pretend to be a manifesto, but it demonstrates a dire need for one. Sadowski has outlined the state of affairs in a way that cannot be disregarded, and his book must be, as he writes and as I hope, a ‘starting pistol.'" – pllcy.bsky.social www.redpepper.org.uk/culture-medi...
