WL: Computerization, advanced robotics and digitalized processes qualitatively alter the industrial process. In my opinion this is indisputable and I know of no author that has written to the contrary other than CB.
^^^^^^ CB: I have said that computerization does qualitatively alter the industrial process. It makes it super-industrial,not post-industrial. It also does not automatically, or shall we say robotically, burst asunder the capitalist relations of production. It is a qualitative change in the technological regime that has not as yet caused a qualitative change in the property regime. I have several times on Thaxis spelled out the elements in this change that make it a qualitative change in the tech regime, based on Marx's concepts in _Capital_ I Part IV: Production of Relative Surplus Value Ch. 12: The Concept of Relative Surplus-Value Ch. 13: Co-operation Ch. 14: Division of Labour and Manufacture Ch. 15: Machinery and Modern Industr You misrepresent what I say very often. That significantly undermines principled discussion and analysis with you. _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list [email protected] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
