[ICTs-and-Society] Red Plenty by Nick Dyer-Witheford

[Eduardo Vizer]

Dear All,





Could´nt we consider economy itself through a metaphor of selforganizing
information system ? The capitalist economy would  just be one its
possible "Programs" ( the 'winner' up to this point of history) implanted
(by whom and how?) as a selfreplicative logic of permanent growth,
regulated by devices that  measure ‘outputs’ according to the quantity  of
a ('fetish') measuring value: money ?? (maybe that is the ‘rationale’  for
the demand of abolition of money in the Scottish proposition)



A crisis as of 2008´s would represent a 'momento de lucidez' (in spanish)
or a crisis of momentaneous conscience of the permanent fetichization
process through which the whole system works and reproduces itself.



Sorry for the disgression, but  the temptation for a commentary is too
great,







Best, Eduardo
