I think off the top of my head, Richard Barbrook got quite close when he wrote the publication 'The Class of the New' - http://www.theclassofthenew.net/ "From Adam Smith's ‘Philosophers’ of the late 18th century, down to the ‘Creative Class’ celebrated by sociologist Richard Florida today, the class of the new represents the future of production within and beyond capitalism." The book is a collection of statements by many different individuals and is quite spurious in places, yet it touches on things regarding what we are discussing from a Marxist position concerning the means around production, and what this means in the digital age. wishing you well. marc >> This is a false duality.
