APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING
Dear all,
I’m looking to recruit a Postdoctoral Visitor/Fellow to work on a
SSHRC-funded research project titled “From Entrepreneurship to
Rentiership: The Changing Dynamics of Innovation in Technoscientific
Capitalism”. The project examines the different forms of rentiership
prevalent in contemporary, technoscientific capitalism. It is motivated by
the increasing unease expressed across the political spectrum with the
problematic effects emerging from technology monopolies, weak antitrust
regulations, market capture, platform technologies, intellectual property
rights, etc.
These two open access articles provide the context for the research:
* Birch, K. (2019) Technoscience rent: Towards a theory of rentiership
for
technoscientific capitalism
