J. Martineau and J. Folco - Algorithmic Capital: Resistance in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

AI and algorithms are more than technologies. They are rooted in new capitalist forms and processes that transcend economics and technology to reshape social reality, politics, culture, and subjectivities. Set out in twenty theses stretching across geopolitics, the mining of rare earths, labor, crypto, influencers, climate change, Gen AI, social acceleration, Silicon Valley ideologies, and predictive policing this book situates contemporary social change in the context of the advent of algorithmic capital. Jonathan Martineau and Jonathan Durand Folco show how the valorization of data and the development of AI are symptoms of deeper socio-economic and political mutations. Algorithmic capital is, at once, a logic of accumulation, a form of social power, a mediation of social relations, and a relation to nature, as well as a multidimensional reality that profoundly reorganizes social life. In the face of this new and alarming stage of capitalism, the book explores possibilities for organizing and resistance, tracing a path toward a post-capitalist and just world.

Jan Kandiyali - Flourishing Together: Karl Marx's Vision of the Good Society
 
Flourishing Together: Karl Marx's Vision of the Good Society provides a novel interpretation of Marx's vision of the good society that sees self-realization in work as a vital component of human flourishing. The core idea is that people realize themselves through exercising and developing their powers in ways that provide others with the goods and services they need to pursue their flourishing. Understood this way, Marx's vision of the good society can withstand many of the criticisms traditionally directed at it and stands as an attractive alternative to liberal egalitarian theories of justice. Throughout the book, Kandiyali shows the relevance of Marx for several current issues and debates, including the role of work in a good life, the desirability of universal basic income, and the problems inherent in the idea of a post-work society. In doing so, he shows Marx to be highly relevant for contemporary political philosophy.

Жан Чун Ой - Экономический взлет сельских районов Китая. Институциональные основы экономической реформы
 
Жан Чун Ой показывает, как и почему китайская сельская промышленность стала самым быстрорастущим сектором экономики не только в Китае, но и в мире. Ой утверждает, что деколлективизация и децентрализация бюджетной сферы дали партийным чиновникам на местах стимулы выступать в роли предпринимателей и способствовать индустриализации сельской местности во многих районах китайской глубинки. В результате корпоративизм, практикуемый местными чиновниками, стал достаточно эффективным, чтобы бросить вызов главенствующему положению национального государства.
